Other good starting points might be ocarina (a few, detuned) tuba for
the bass, accordion (with some tweaking) as well as organ (reed organ,
specifically, I think).

Carousel organs and calliopes often have lots of funny one-man-band type
attachments...a bass drum, snare, and cymbals, sometimes a trumpet or
two, usually an organ of the reed variety.  They are pretty much always
out of tune and busy.

The most important thing is to arrange the part authentically.  Find
some examples and listen to their orchestration.  Sort of 'legit' and
old timey...  if you can nail that, you are halfway there alone.
