Arranging Music for Fairground & Band Organs
By Gordon Ramsey

I am looking for some guidance concerning the use of the various
registers on a Wurlitzer 165 organ to get the best musical results.
Has anyone ever put together an arranger's guide to determine which
voices are good together, what order to turn stuff on to get a gradual
build-up to full organ, and what rules the old rolls always seemed to
follow, like turning on the flutes and piccolos when the bells are on?

Are these secrets that no one ever reveals, or is every arranger
strictly on his own?  Any help would be much appreciated.
