Thank you for the instructions

How do you remove the two wooden front covers so you can get to the mechanism in the first place?

That looks so cool!

Does anyone happen to know if some of these types of player pianos were ever refitted later on to also run on electricity, rather than manually pumping the foot pedals? Back when I was a little kid in the '70s, our house had one, and I remember sitting on the bench, pumping the pedals to listen to the songs, but I also have vague memories of it being able to be set up to run on its own, without having to have someone physically operating the pedals. Am I correct, or is my memory just playing tricks on me?

Cool

I got a question how old is this player piano and what year is it?

Thanks a lot for this!

cannot believe how wonderful this machine is i used to like wind up gramerphones as a kid this machine came before what led on to be junkboxes

magic a different world long gone but very exciting and inspiring love the sounds this machine makes even if a bit out of tune they are like strange living beings doing more to us than just playing a tune and giving us a ride they could be spell casters

I love this song

No 146

Is there a difference between piano brands vs rolls? Are the rolls interchangeable?

This should be our state song!

I think it sounds great

what song is that on the piano

What company made the roll? Then I'll know what to avoid buying.

Beautiful

Thank you. I’ve been trying to get my grandmothers Steoeber working properly. This video answered several questions

Where did you find this piano Chris? I live in Oshawa and know some of the history of Williams and Sons Piano Works. My niece Jessica was thrilled when she discovered a Williams piano in a ghost town in Northern British Columbia.

This is incredible, such an amazing machine. So cool

Ingenious. I often wondered how those tiny little holes played the notes. Thanks for the explanation

Yeah now I see where pinball machines came from

Love this one as well. Terrific. 🤎

That's one of my favourite Andrews Sisters tunes... Louis Prima and Keely Smith also did a great rendition.

hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅

0.75 for accurate speed

How do the holes in the paper communicate the inner dynamics of the song? Do you know? I definitely hear dynamics in these pianola songs... so amazing...

Hopefully you'll get a recut roll.

When I was little, my grandparents had a player piano and the very same QRS roll at their house (among others). It was my first exposure to Autumn Leaves (even before hearing the famous Nat King Cole version). We used to always take it out on holidays / family get togethers. Almost 30 years later, my grandpa has passed, my grandma sold the house, and the family get togethers don't happen anymore, but I inherited the piano and the rolls. It doesn't work (one of the parts needs replacing), so being able to hear this really takes me back! Thank you for posting!

I love this Piano

acoustic midi

I have been lucky enough to go on this a few times Always so fun, and amazing it looks so good for it's age

thank you for sharing such an in-depth tour of your piano. I’m really interested in pneumatics and this also inspires my passion in music. the fact that we can combine them is truly fascinating.

I have had this happen once or twice with Duo-Art rolls. Apparently there was at least a short period of time when they did not use acid free paper and after many decades it become extremely brittle.

Hi Chris…My upright is from 1913 with a loud, bass and treble levers. Do the rolls tell when to use these levers or did the piano player back in the day simply adjust these levers by ear? Also, when you have these player pianos tuned, does something have to be removed? If so, what? Thanks!

I have this exact piano which has been completely restored to original specs. I always wondered how it worked. THANK YOU - This was fantastic!

Thank God (or perhaps Michael Faraday) for electricity.

Imagine walking in to a saloon in the winter and you hear this

Fantastically complicated. I wonder who invented it. By the way, this poor gentleman is trying his best to explain how it works. God bless his efforts.

Yay, Oshawa! 🇨🇦

I'm pretty sure a witch came up with this idea

Thanks for the great walkthrough. I love mechanical devices and always have. A piano is complicated to start with, and it's amazing how all the player parts are fitted and working reliably.
