On April 8, Toby Washburn stopped by Carma Labs in Franklin, Wisconsin to demonstrate the unusual pipe organ constructed in the warehouse.
As part of our Midwest Tour, The Organ Grinder Documentary project visited Carma Labs (which you may recognize as the manufacturers of Carmex lip balm) to explore the wild and over-the-top things people are doing with pipe organs today, much in the spirit of the Organ Grinder restaurants and those like them. (More on that visit soon.)
The Carma Labs Organ is claimed to be “The world’s largest theater organ built in the American symphonic organ style of the Wanamaker instrument.”
