Glen Echo Park Wurlitzer 165 and Dentzel Carousel
By Cassidy Juraniec

Hello, this weekend I was on a day trip to Glen Echo Park in Glen Echo,
Maryland, with my good friend Andrew Lardieri and his family. He has
a history of commissioning Style 165 band organ rolls and one of the
places he sends them to is Glen Echo Park, which I was thrilled to be
given an opportunity to visit the Dentzel carousel and Wurlitzer 165
band organ there.

I took a few videos from different points of view while I was there.
Their Wurlitzer 165 looks beautiful and sounds absolutely gorgeous;
I loved listening to it every second while I was there. I can tell it
is well cared for.

The carousel ride was also amazing as it was running at a good speed
and it was beautiful and well taken care of.

Here are my videos I took of the 165 organ playing and the carousel
from different points of view:
