Built by Waldkirch Baden, Germany by A. Ruth and Sohn, the two-ton pipe organ was first exhibited at the 1900 World Exposition in Paris. Featuring 98keys and 400 pipes, the organ has 18 lifelike figures that adorn the elaborately carved machine, with 12 of them spinning and dancing to each tune. It still runs on what it did more than 100 years ago... hand-fed cardboard sheet music.

    I don't think Catina Band was designed to be played on a Ruth organ that lacks all the percussion needed for it.

  • This organ was ...

    This organ was built in 1906, not 1900 like the plaque says. It has 96 keys, now played from a midi interface.
