A Fairground Organ is a type of mechanical musical instrument commonly found at amusement parks and fairs. It produces music by using a series of pipes and a rotating cylinder or disc that plays pre-programmed tunes. These organs are often brightly decorated and can be quite large, creating a festive atmosphere. Typically powered by steam or electricity, fairground organs have a rich history dating back to the 19th century. They are often associated with traditional carnival music and can play a variety of tunes, from classical pieces to popular songs, enhancing the enjoyment of visitors at carnivals and fairs.
