A dance organ, built by Gebroeders Decap of Antwerp in 1946 and mounted in a 7.5 ton vehicle with an opening side to display the instrument. LUCY has an extensive repertoire of cardboard book music and the organ front is illuminated with multi-coloured lighting that constantly changes as the music plays.
This organ was built by the Belgian organ builder Theofiel Mortier in 1928 and a new dance organ front was added in 1955 to update the organ's ability to play dance music. The instrument is mounted in a 7.5 ton vehicle with an opening side. The organ front is illuminated with concealed lighting which changes colour with the music.
This organ was built in 1975 by Gijs Perlee of Amsterdam, the famous organ builder and renter of street organs. The organ was brought into England by the late Harold Jennings who used it to raise thousands of pounds for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. The present owner, David Dingwall, purchased the instrument in 2005.
This organ was built in 1985 by Johnny Verbeeck of Belgium and has been with the same owner throughout its life. The design is that of a small street organ, yet despite its size it contains no less than 73 pipes. There are three hand - operated registers which bring bourdon, violin and flute pipes into play and add much variety to the music. The musical repertoire of the organ includes both popular and classical pieces, old and new, with something suitable for almost every occasion.
