Hello,
I'm looking for those sounds and before I start tweaking something I'd 
like to know if there are any kind of samples of those instruments out 
there...

Last time I needed one of those - which would have been for one in a 
series of spots I scored in 1987! - I layered a bunch of sounds on my 
Yamaha FB-01 (!) and it worked really well. The main things are organ 
and bells, but it doesn't take much to get the effect.

guess what - this is what I did in those days ;-)
the FB-01 was really pretty good for this, but it's broken and went 
into the garbagecan...
and nowadays I want a little more breath and, very important, that 
strange kind of stringed drum...

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.


best, Nathan
