46-key Limonaire 3948 playing: I Double Dare You – Jimmy Eaton & Terry Shand
Built by Limonaire Frères in Paris, c. 1909, as a 35-key instrument, this organ was imported by Chiappa Ltd in the early 1920s and converted to play standardised 46-key music. It was sold to Harvey & Saunders who used it in their juvenile ride to travel London and the home counties – most notably Amersham Charter Fair. Ted Reed purchased both the organ and ride in 1986 before selling the juvenile sometime later. The organ retains its showland decoration.
