Wurlitzer 153s can easily play in the keys of C and G and with some creative arranging occasionally support the key of D.
Despite having only 3 bass notes from the 150 scale, the musicality of this organ is still quite vast being able to play traditional marches and waltzes as well as more popular fox-trots. William Dentzel as well as other carousel companies marketed their rides with the style 153 through the 20's and to this day, several examples of 153s with their original carousels still exist. The 153 is the smallest organ Wurlitzer built where every single organ was equipped with this system.
In addition, all Wurlitzer 153 band organs were equipped with Wurlitzer's duplex roll system this allows for continuous music without waiting for a roll to rewind. The popularity of this organ is thanks to it's attractive carved facade and full rich sound - all of which being able to fit in a relatively small space.
