It was at the south end of the area at Fun Town. Several blocks were burned and many of the buildings are a 100% loss. The Chance carousel that did survive Hur- ricane Sandy didn’t survive the fire. The fire department did a great job as the fire moved quickly to the north, stopping just blocks away from the historic Floyd Moreland Looff/ Dentzel Carousel.

From Down Under, The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens’ Steam Carousel on the Move Carousel owners Mark and Judy Money are looking for a permanent location in the Salamanca area for their historic carousel. The Moneys want a five-year lease with an agree- ment to operate the 1882 merry-go-round year-round. The proposed area for the amusement ride is the small park- ing lot between the two Salamanca lawns. Alderman Marti Zucco said at a Parks and Customers Service meeting that a merry-go-round at Salamanca would be a “win-win”. Mr. Zucco said the parking lot could be moved. There are prec- edents for waterfront carousels, with one in Sydney and an- other in Geelong. “If we’re serious about heritage, this is it,” he said. The carousel was removed from the Botanical Gar- dens in July because it had run without a regular schedule.

  • Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art
    Marquetry on Drawer-Model Marionette Duo-Art This piano began life as a brown Recordo. The sound board was re-engineered, as the original ribs tapered so soon that the bass bridges pushed through. The strings were the wrong weight, and were re-scaled using computer technology. Six more wound-strings were added, and the weights of the steel strings were changed. A 14-inch Duo-Art pump, a fan-expression system, and an expression-valve-size Duo-Art stack with a soft-pedal compensation lift were all built for it. The Marquetry on the side of the piano was inspired by the pictures on the Arto-Roll boxes. The fallboard was inspired by a picture on the Rhythmodic roll box. A new bench was built, modeled after the bench originally available, but veneered to go with the rest of the piano.

The organ, an early 87-key Gavioli, was built in 1898 and now forms part of the extensive collection of Mike Dree- lan, a prominent collector of steam and other road vehicles. It is not known exactly where the organ was first used commercially, but it was possibly somewhere in Belgium; at some point it was ex- ported to the United States where it provided the music for a carousel in a permanent amusement park. In the late 1920s the organ was rebuilt by the B.A.B. Organ Company of Brooklyn, New York. At this time, the Gavioli keyframe was removed and the scale changed to their own 80-keyless book system, making the old library of music redundant. A new selection of popular music was then supplied for it. Later, the organ operated at Almonesson Lake, a permanent amusement park in New Jersey.
