Also of interest: Wurlitzer Organs. Their biggest difference is the addition of non-wind instruments, and intentional vibrato added to the wind instruments.
They were originally used to provide music and sound effects for silent movies and plays.
There's one in Scottsdale, AZ that's a lot of fun to visit in person (there are YouTube videos of it too). Organ Stop Pizza
