David Stumpf´s rolls always made Wurlitzer band organs sing. My personal favorites include his Children´s Roll, Broadway, Both Xmas Rolls, Country Carousel 1&2, Old Time Tunes Vol 2, State Fair, as well as The Music Man. David´s remarkable use of the key of D Major on many of his arrangements, spice up the organs to a whole new level. RIP a true loss in the mechanical music universe.

David, It was an honor to have shared friendship with you for over 70 years. We had many adventures and happy times. Your kindness and sense of humor will be remembered. We would always conclude our visits by saying "we will talk again..." God Bless you!

Dave was a great friend of 33 years and the numerous road trips we took over the years to see and hear band organs are too many to count. A huge loss and there will never be a more loyal friend!
