We believe in open standards whenever possible. With the Smith 20 note standard, there are several sources of music around the world, including us. With other standards, including solid-state cartridges, there may be only one or two sources.
Businesses close down, people die, and things change.
We prefer to give our customers as much flexibility and security as possible. That is also why our street organs use MIDI files on disk. A challenge with MIDI organs is the clicking sound produced by many electronic air valves. If you drop one of our organs, it will break. The video that you receive with your organ shows you how to find and lubricate the moving parts, and how to tune any pipes that need touch-up tuning from time to time.
