Royal American Shows Band Organ
By William Griswold Jr.
Steve, I don't know if Royal American Shows had more than one large
organ, but it sounds like the organ might have been the 89-keyless
Grand Gavioli organ. There is a picture of it on one of my web pages
that I took a few years back when the organ travelled to a fair out
where I live. The address is

This organ is fully restored and located in Baraboo, Wisconsin at the
Circus World Museum. It is played during the warmer months on a daily
basis. They have recordings of the organ as well available. Hope this
helps.
