This is a very rare LP of the Ex. Bob Miller Gavioli 110 organ. The organ is unique in that it is the only Gavioli 110 IN THE WORLD that is ALL ORIGINAL and has never been altered by anyone but just maintained. Under the ownership of Dr. Miller, it played at the Euclid Beach Amusement Park in Cleveland, OH. There it played until it fell silent in the 1960s and then was rescued by the late Tim Trager by the end of the 1960s who was a mechanical music enthusiast in the USA who loved this organ very much.
Under Mr. Trager's ownership, the organ remained un-restored yet it had a serious problem as to how an instrument this original would ever be restored without altering it from it's original design/form. The future of this instrument remains unknown to date but it is hoped to somehow be preserved in it's original form but is sadly possible it will never play again.
Regardless of this instrument's fate, the organ will continue to play on via recordings posted to KZfaq, etc enabling all to hear how an original Gavioli 110 truly sounded.
Songs on this side are as follows:
-Our Director March
-Espana Waltz
-My Crooney Medley
-Pretty Baby
I want to tribute this to the late Tim Trager (April 4, 1958 - April 11, 2024)
