May 25 2021; The picture below is of two instruments that were offered for sale in the same Catalogue from the famous dealer in Mechanical Musical Instruments G.W. (Mac) MacKinnon 1970's
The MacKinnon Calliope (on the left) is from the Renfrew Historical Society in Renfrew, Ont. Canada. The instrument is now restored and back at the museum in Renfrew all ready for another 50 years of entertaining.
The second instrument is the MacKinnon Bandolin style 125 Military Band Organ that Mac commissioned the Johnson Organ company make for him. (Aprox 15 were made?)
I recently purchased this instrument from the Canadian Automotive Museum.
It is now being fully restored including the original music roll player and a new midi system which will allow for a library of over 1000 songs to be available instantly on the new Brotech tablet system.
I will also be including a glockenspiel (Metal Bells) to play with the trumpets as well as other improvements to the various pipes.
A new facade will also be built more in the tradition of the Gus. Bruder design which Wurlitzer borrowed for their style 153 Band Organ.
