The sound of this organ is fun. Always reminds me of amusement park, silent movie, Charles Chaplin. Vibrato is typical of this style of organ. Very good. Liked it.

The Edmonton Christie did have a rank of Wurlitzer tibias from 1946 however. The original Christie Tibia 2 laid on the floor for years in the lower chamber. It was removed with the organ after its transfer to Wales

One of my favorite marches, and it sounds better played on a WurLitzer than it does being played by a band!

I had hoping you would play something on theatre organ which has been my life's passion.

Would like to hear you play "The Knightsbridge March" by Eric Coates
