"The Whistler and His Dog" 1905 GAVIOLI FAIRGROUND ORGAN 

"The Whistler and His Dog", written by Arthur Pryor in 1905, played on my 89-key G4 Gavioli & Cie FAIRGROUND ORGAN built in the same year.
Gavioli No. 9085 plays today exactly as it would have done in 1905, using perforated cardboard read by an pneumatic action controlling air to the 400 pipes. There is also automatic percussion, and a 17 note glockenspiel.
This magnificent instrument was installed in James Day's 3-abreast Gallopers in 1920, and was in showmans use with the ride until 1984. Previously owned by Chris Dobbs, I aquired the organ in April 2021, and look forward to touring steam fairs and special events across England and Wales in due course (please contact me if you are interested in hiring it for your event - nick@fairgroundorgan.com)
