Please call or write to discuss longer engagements.
The first 100 miles of travel for your event is included in the
rental price. Additional mileage will be billed at $1.45/mile (subject
to change with fuel prices), for the round trip distance from Wayland,
MA. If more than one event is scheduled on a trip you will pay a pro
rata share of the total (ie we don't double-dip on travel costs).
Is it loud enough?
While not loud on a rock-and-roll scale, this instrument was designed
to attract attention on a busy fairground midway, and it will. It is a
real pipe organ, there is no volume control. On a quiet day it can
clearly be heard several hundred yards away. Please be aware of this in
planning use of the organ.
What are the site requirements?
The organ requires a firm, level surface with ample room to maneuver
a large truck pulling a 24 ft trailer. There must be paved road leading
to the site. A minimum of 12 ft overhead clearance is required wherever
the trailer is to travel, 16 ft is required for raising the roof for
operation. The trailer will not be opened if there is any danger of
contact with overhead electric lines.
The organ requires two dedicated, independent 20A 120V circuits (not
just two outlets!) for electrical power.
Do I need to provide electrical power?
If electric power (two dedicated, independent 20A 120V circuits) is not
available there will be a surcharge of $30/hour for use of our quiet
diesel generator.
What if it rains?
The Jubilee is valuable antique organ that can be damaged by extreme
weather. The trailer design allows the organ to be displayed and played
in most conditions, but we will not risk damage to the organ. The
decision to play or not is at the sole discretion of the owner/operator.
There are no refunds for time not played due to weather.
Can you play my favorite tune?
If we have it we're happy to play it. With sufficient advanced notice
(months) it is possible to commission new arrangements for the organ.
