This Decap 121-key Belgium handcrafted band organ was built in 2006 and imported to the USA by Steve Swika Amusements in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania. It played every fair and event that Steve performed until his death. It was his favorite attraction and always accompanied his merry-go-round; it was later sold at auction to a private collector.

Two ranks of bourbon flutes achieve a true signature European sound. Two ranks of violins, one rank of cellos, and one rank of trumpets, as well a 12 bass pipes, one bass drum, one snare drum, one wood block, and one rhythm cymbal complete the outstanding contemporary sound this organ produces. The beautiful facade was built and adorned by Toon Heesbin in the Netherlands. Close your eyes when you listen to the Big Band sound, and you will think Benny Goodman’s entire orchestra is playing just for you!
