ROCHESTER, N.Y. — What occurred to the organ music on the carousel at Ontario Seashore Park?
For a few years, you might hear music coming from the Dentzel Carousel nevertheless it has been over a decade since organ music performed there. A viewer named Kenneth visited Ontario Seashore Park and noticed an indication on the Dentzel Carousel that reads “Sorry… The band organ is damaged. We hope to have it repaired quickly.”
Kenneth then wrote to us asking: “Are there plans to repair the organ any time quickly? Native kids of all ages want to know.”
Monroe County says the signal is wrong. The organ does work and the signal was displayed in error. So, if it really works, why did the music cease?
The county says the organ “doesn’t have quantity controls and apparently there have been quite a few complaints concerning the music being too loud. The parks division now makes use of an MP3 participant to supply the music and previous to that, used a CD participant.”
The music performs on, simply not from the organ. The county says it’s unsure how lengthy the signal had been there, nevertheless it has since been eliminated.
The organ isn’t completely silent. It nonetheless will get performed for particular occasions. The carousel was in-built 1905 making it 118 years previous as of Sept. 4.
