Sorry trumpets not tuned perfectly, temp and humidity all over the place as usual!! That’s the only benefit of the digital one, never goes out of tune !!! 😁

Edit - big thanks to Dirk Wulfkühler title is “Fahr mich in die Ferne, mein blonder Matrose “ (the roll title was incomplete so I wasn’t sure what it was 🤔
In English “Take me far away, my blonde sailor"or also known as “the blonde sailor waltz” composed by
Jakob Pfeil

Another little qu**ky on the Bruns/hofbauer 😁.

2nd one not sure if I’ve shared already, lovely little novelty tune Nola composed by Felix Arndt.
Composed for piano but I love it on organs, hope you do too ❤️
First fell in love with tune thanks to Tim Blyth who cut it for 89 key .
Always remember that yellow label going through the key frame Tim
😁👍🙏❤️

Ohhh after saying that was the last for now I found another two videos I don’t think I’ve shared yet? Sorry if I have already but if so enjoy again 🥳😀
This one is a Finnish tango I arranged maybe 30 years ago commissioned by a local guy for a smaller 20 note organ, but I liked it so made it for the 58 note midi trumpet organ.
Title is Eron Hetki On Kaunis
Let me know what you think 👍🙏

I think I have a hoarding problem ………, just got another 45er 😁. This one was made by Rudolph Bruns but sold with a Hofbauer badge.

Same scale as the Niemuth but slight difference on the spools.

After an odd comment that the entire thing is fake 🤣 cause Ive never shown the back here you go.
Yes it’s digital.
Yes it’s real
No it’s not a.i.

Tune is Amporita Roca

This is showing the tempo as you crank faster so the music goes faster and slower etc. it can also be fixed so you don’t have to worry about crank speed or just play by itself.

Rest of the tune is in a 2nd video below in the comments 👍

Getting to the end of sharing these older vids taken a while ago so might be the last for a while.
When it comes back in at some point I’ll try and take more of other tunes.
Meanwhile one of my favourites and I think perfect for this sound - Klarinetten Komik
Composed by Albert Bräu, my arrangement , inspired by the one on Limonaire 1900, possibly by Arthur Prinsen?
