    "​The organ, built in the late 19th century by Frati and Co. in Berlin, is tucked into the carousel’s roundhouse. ",
    "​“It’s a well-hidden secret,” said city program supervisor Lori Mambella, who gave Search Engine a behind-the-scenes look Friday before it opens for the season Saturday. / The organ has two music wheels for paper rolls, which look like perforated parchment paper. When one roll is finished playing, the second roll starts up while the first one rewinds to begin again. / The average roll runs for about 30 to 40 minutes. ",
    "​Fact Finder! The Lakeside Park Carousel is one of only nine antique hand carved carousels in Canada, according to the City of St. Catharines. There are approximately 350 in North America. Its organ was overhauled by Wurlitzer of North Tonawanda, NY at some point between 1927 and the 1940s and it was converted from a 121-key barrel organ to a 61-key roll-music Wurlitzer Style #150 organ. It’s had some minor repairs since then and a major restoration in 2005 in Erie, PA. "
