The Professor Cranks It Out!

The show we are selling as an accessory to our organs is unique. We have always appreciated the "traditional" organ grinders who stand and grind out the music, but we have always wanted to tell them what an opportunity they are missing. We understand that they are not entertainers. Rather, they are human juke boxes or organ demonstrators. More's the pity.

In fact, the first performers to use small, hand-cranked pipe organs were troubadors who used them as accompaniment for their songs. Their demand for more robust instruments was responsible for the evolution of the street organ from the high pitched serinettes to the lower pitched, larger scale instruments we have today.

So, we have put our over 25 years of family entertainment experience to work, and come up with a 25 minute show that integrates the organ, magic, balloons, and music. There are sing-along segments, with the organ providing the music, and even a segment in which a volunteer grinder helps out and has misadventures with the organ itself.

We provide a complete script, a video of the show, and a special music roll. All you have to do is load the roll and follow the script. The laughs and audience participation are all automatic if you have anything approaching a personality!

The show, including the music roll, is just $350.00. One festival booking will pay for the whole show package, and you have a license to perform it for your entire lifetime.
