Old tape recording from the 1970's of Bill Minshulls 46 key project known as "Limonaire Bitzen" and later known as "The Dark Peak Piper" 46 key Systeme Limonaire.
Unfortunately it is a very poor tape recording, it was taken in the back of the organ truck, where the accompaniment pipes tend to be quite prominent. There is little bass in the recording and background noise from the blower can be heard.
But you can at least appreciate Bill Minshulls great achievement in his desire to own his own fairground organ.
The organ is now with us and undergoing complete stage by stage overhaul.
