deKleist Wurlitzer 165
By Glenn Thomas, forwarded by Robbie Rhodes
Hi Robbie,
I believe the "Wurlitzer 165" you are speaking of is at Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA. I recently heard and saw this magnificent instrument.
It is an original deKleist factory converted by Wurlitzer to 165. They have a very large library of 165 music, and the organ sounds as good as any 165 you could hear. (I'm a slight authority, having grown up around Ross Davis' two LA organs and listened to them for years).
Knoebels also has about 4 other band organs, many nickelodeons, and is well worth much time. I was awestruck by their organs, pianos and their fine condition. They sell many tapes of these instruments. I've purchased most of them. Believe they don't sell through many outlets, as I think I've only seen them at the Herschel Museum in North Tonawanda NY. Can supply more detail if desired!
