Custom Band Organ Idea For Jantzen Beach Carousel
By Wallace Venable

Andrew Lardiere said, "The tricky part, however, would be finding
a façade for this fantasy band organ idea I have right now as the
façade for other 165 replicas came from a Mexico based carving shop."

Not tricky at all. COAA President Bob Yorburg carved three Wurlitzer
165 fronts, with first class help on painting, etc. Their work was
thoroughly researched, and was probably of better final quality than
most produced by Wurlitzer. See:

I think the Decap shop is still capable of building your organ,
including a custom front.

The tricky part is finding a $$ponsor.
