Savin Rock Gavioli Finds New Home in Wisconsin
By Andrew Lardieri

Originally owned by Ken Harck of the Chicago area, the fantastic
1906 Gavioli fair organ first installed at the Savin Rock amusement
park in West Haven, Connecticut, has found a new dwelling not far
from the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

The Savin Rock Gavioli organ has settled into her home in the Brewery
Room of the Al Ringling Mansion where she plays her heart out via
MIDI files of many B.A.B. arrangements by J. Lawrence Cook in addition
to arrangements from contemporary arrangers including Rich Olsen and
Wayne Holton, to name a few.

Below I've attached a few snippets of this pristine beauty playing
a few tunes by Cook and contemporary arrangers at it's new home.
