The Crescent Park Carousel was built in 1895 by Charles I.D. Looff, one of the earliest and foremost carousel designers. The Crescent Park Carousel is nationally recognized for its wood sculpture. Originally built as a showcase for prospective buyers, it is the largest and most elaborate of Looff's works. The Carousel contains 62 hand-carved figures and four fanciful chariots. Elaborate embellishments of decorative panels, beveled mirrors, faceted glass jewels, electric lights, colored sandwich glass windows and its original band organ music surround flying steeds to create Looff's "Total Carousel Experience."

John Zalar is my favorite carousel carver. His horses- and these are prime examples- are just so hauntingly beautiful. This carousel is a real treasure! Here's hoping it survives for another hundred years.

@sirnim i saw a few of your videos of the band organ's songs. how many songs does this carousel have?

@BenSchwartz 13 лет назад

@MrPollitogatito I have about 5 hours worth of recorded material from this particular Ruth organ in my iTunes, stuff from commercially-released volumes and stuff I recorded myself with a handheld recorder. Currently, I'd say there's about a couple dozen (give or take) Wurlitzer 165 Rolls in boxes stacked in the cabinet beneath the snare drum, and I know new rolls are added occasionally if the operator can place a winning bid for them on eBay.

Ben Schwartz how can I access the music? I grew up with this looff carousel and the music is part of my childhood.

It is actually a Looff frame populated with replacement Looff horses.
