An exceptionally rare find -- this 48 Key Gasparini Fairground Organ was built by Alexandre Gasparini in Paris, France around 1895-1900. Gasparini organs were beautifully voiced, with softer tone than was typical of other European fairground organs of the period. Gasparini organs were only produced from about 1880 to 1911 and less than 24 Gasparini organs are estimated to survive!

The organ offered here is played by book music and includes a stack of book music approximately 30" high. The organ has 112 pipes, is motor driven, and is in excellent restorable condition. The organ case is approximately 30" deep by 46" wide by 63" high. The beautifully painted façade is approximately 8' wide by 7'4" high. The organ is in playable condition but needs a professional tuning. Would be an ideal candidate for a museum-quality restoration. Organ is located in Euclid, Ohio (near Cleveland).
