Stereo field-recording of a kermis organ in a small German town while a funfair. The recorded selfplaying organ machine was build in 1904 by a Bavarian organ builder. It works with folded papers that have holes to code the music. Outside you see a barocklike design with angels drumming and a moving conductor in the middle etc. Each musical play has always about 6 to 12 music tracks. The music are folksongs or popular music at the beginning of the 20th century. I separated the tracks by cutting and converted them from wav to mp3. This track has the title "Rosamunde". Its a very famous folksong / popular song of a man singing to his beloved [Rosamunde], assuring her of his honesty and love. This song today is often sung by drunken pride of men - its still famous.

Thank you. I may use this for non profit event promo video
This sample was used in soundscape made for small exhibition in Finland.
Excellent theme but sadly the recording is overdriven.
Excellent! I've been searching for fair organ recordings for some time. My mother came from a famous menagerie family and as a girl she danced on a stage to the music of the family's organ in the 1920s and 30s.
hahaha, I thought that was pretty funny, I got a good laugh out of it
