What an amazing legacy! Thank everyone at the Museum for preserving this extraordinary collection and ensuring the public always has opportunity to experience the wonder and fascination of these technological wonders!
I'm currently reading the book about the Guinness collection! So cool
Es ist wunderschön, keine Frage. Und ich möchte es keinesfalls kritisieren, weil ich mir vorstellen kann, wieviel Arbeit in diesem absolut naturnahen Kunstwerk steckt. Kann man den Hals noch der Bewegung anpassen?? Es ist aber auch jetzt schon ein kleines Wunderwerk..
😮😮
A little bit more lubrication would be nice.
nice !
For all those people who feel like they didn´t have enough nightmares after watching Chucky.
❤❤❤so cute automaton
Now, everybody will want one.
~SAD, That So Much Of Our History Is Left Behind,. And Is FORGOTTEN!
Very sad this is an image of slavery
Wonderful
This Is call REAL brilliant MECHANIC.
absolut beeindruckend
When she said “we invite you...” I thought at last I was going to get to see some of the automata properly. “Ohhhh...” :-/
Seeing how these work is amazing it’s a marvel of engineering
Creepy yet pleasantly fascinating.
That's the biggest speed regulator I've ever seen! The machine and cabinetry seem well made, but the musical phrasing seems irregular, unfortunately....
Wait till you hear cylinder audio recordings of actual musicians playing in the 1880s-1890s-1900s. Some of this rubato, phrasing and rhythm, are how people actually played!
Just superb
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Everyone credits Walt Disney for inventing this tech… I always correct them!
Sehr interessant!😊
It’s amazing that they were able to do something like this in the 1800s
Can you show us the mechanism
Very nice❤
I'm pretty sure this was based on an automatic flute player by the Banu Musa brothers.
Cuál puede ser el valor de esta antigüedad? Hay a l venta?
New Jersey needs a permanent exhibit for Orson Well’s “War of the Worlds.” The Morris Museum would be an excellent place to host such an exhibit. Hold an annual anniversary airing each October 30th. That episode in American history is a microcosm of the media driven hysterias in our time. Every kid should hear the story and learn the lesson to be critical of what they are being told.
There is another one that is now owned by bill edgerton
It's the same one.
I wonder how tall this stands as it appears to be life sized in the first shot of it being wound. Really nicely crafted mechanical brilliance.
GREAT! Thanks. 😉
Wrong direction of lags 😊
If you thought this was impressive, you might like this documentary about automatons: th-cam.com/video/6Nt7xLAfEPs/w-d-xo.html
Is this a statue of Justin Trudeau?
Weirdest one I've seen yet.
After reading about this fantastic instrument and its amazing discovery story in old MBSI journals for years, I am very glad you have put this video up of it playing a full selection so we can hear it play. It plays very nicely indeed (especially for its size) and the music is very well arranged. As a musician I was especially surprised by the very quick register changes near the beginning for the “sforzando” effect on certain notes and chords.
Amazing
Yo, dawg, you good?
Fantastic discussion!
It's strange how so many artist live with self doubt, including those who are absolutely amazing, and including myself. I admire these two artists so much!
i cant even begin to imagine how much that must cost
Come si chiamano le due musiche?
That’s absolutely creepy!
I’m confused. Are you saying all orchestrions are creepy, or just this particular one? Why? It plays beautiful music.
I can explain most aspects of the mechanism of this orchestrion and how they work (at least basic principles if not specifics). I have found they are much less creepy when you know how they work and what all the parts do. I am creeped out by automata and things with human figures, but automatic musical instruments without human figures like this have never been a problem for me.
Is some of the “creepiness” the lighting in this video, because some of the lighting is up from below? Or is it something else?
Ein Duffner Orchestrion steht noch im Museum für mechanische Musikinstrumente in Königslutter
If the cylinder, trumpet boots, and case trim were not black, but a lighter color, would you find it less creepy? Black was very fashionable in the 1870s and ao this was decorated thus to be in fashion with the styles of the times. I have found that sometimes people will find a given instrument more or leas creepy depending upon how it is painted, how well the room is lit, and/or the shadows in a particular photo or video.
I just started learn psychology this semester and automata is a thing that we learn in the history of modern psychology, and here I am!

One of only two Dufner orchestrions I know of. The other is in Germany.
Yes and there is a third Dufner instrument in existence which is a fairground or salon barrel organ which I think is in a private collection in either upstate NY, NH, or VT.
Absolutely beautiful orchestrion!
@Peter Mackett, That is Súper Creepy!
Creepy?!?!?
Very nice
