What is the difference between a Fair organ and a Street organ?
A fair organ was built to play in a fairground and a street organ wasn’t. A fair organ needs plenty of volume to be heard over the sound of people screaming and throwing up on the rides. A street organ doesn’t need so much volume, as the streets are not normally filled with hundreds of drunken yobs shouting abuse at everybody who goes past – except in Newcastle (oops – there goes all my Geordie customers).
