This is the jazzy foxtrot "Dance of the Blue Danube" and is one of my "Phantom Duets" where I enhance vintage 1920's Ampico reproducing piano rolls (in this case, one attributed to Vincent Lopez) with the incredible depth and richness of the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ. The perfect combination! (and a real gas to play, too!)

| and, by the way, what does it matter who "recorded" the piano roll? this is about mr. riggs' project; to play "duets" with these wonderful reproducing rolls. the piano and organ make a wonderful duo that is rarely heard. i had the privilege of studying the organ with someone who played in a theatre in the 1920's. the best part of my lesson was the duet we would play (with him at the piano) of the piece i was studying. |

| there are a few extant examples of "rebuilt" wurlitzer consoles that contain three "edge to edge" stop rails. this one appears to be the console that once controlled the instrument in the home of richard simonton. it was "narrowed" so it would not "overpower" the small, 75 seat theatre in which it was installed. that is why the stop rails cover the ends of the solo (top) manual; something you won't find in an "original" console. the instrument moved but the console did not. where is it now? |

| Anyone know any details on this organ? I'm 100% certain that no original Wurlitzer console had three complete stoprails on the horseshoe, though I think it looks very good. Anyone know the location, number of ranks, or origin of the console? |
