If this is your place, PLEASE save this awesome piano at 10:26. I absolutely love those old self playing pianos and they are worth a lot if they work which this one does. Get it fixed, tuned and cleaned and sell it for a lot of money to a collector or museum.
Don´t give him ideas… He shall keep it. It holds tune and still works, to me that´s a keeper. I got a manual piano off the street ad it´s great. We need to encourage the fix- not the sale. Thanks
@@RadicalBlur Err, No. I think You got something wrong here. Some other guy gave the idea this is worth money and to sell it. I would very much wish for this to be kept where it is and seen thru to play regularily. I threw in to setup a Gofundme for this, yes. Pianos can become expensive, quick. I know, I own one. Kind Regards
Cool to see the electrically powered player piano in running order, that one is rare enough to definitely worth saving as it will be approximately 100 years old (the Aeolian ones with this generation of spoolbox vacuum motor and vacuum assisted tracker bar roll-centering system were generally made around 1920 or so) and the electric motor-driven vacuum pump variants are harder to find than the home-parlour foot pedal pump variants these days. Electrically equipped player pianos and orchestrions were often fitted with coin-op mechanism for use in halls, speakeasies and ice cream parlours etc, there seems to be a remnant of this on the left hand side above the keybed. But mostly, because it still plays and appears to be regulating its speed well, this piano is an excellent candidate for restoration - that paint will come off, and the mechanism is in apparently good serviceable condition. My assessment is that it will have had refurbishment work done on it relatively recently, (compared to its age) i.e. not too long before the facility closed, to still be in as good a working condition as this. Typically in the1960s-70s many piano technicians would remove and discard the failing player mechanisms to make them into "ordinary pianos" again, rather than have to perform the often quite difficult repairs required, which involved skills in woodwork, glue, leather, and rubberised cloth refurbishment, and the wooden structures (being many layers glued together!) needed to be cut apart with a saw, not for the faint hearted! Repairs could include replacing any of the bearing surfaces of rotating shafts, the large diameter rubber feed pipes providing vacuum to the valve chest and spoolbox motor, the hundreds of small diameter rubber pipes from the tracker bar to the keybed actuator bellows, the spool motor chain, failed leather pouch valves and springs in the tri-valve chest (the full width structure with stacks of screws just above/behind the keybed) and the folded rubberised cloth on the bellows of the spool motor, regulators, pedal actuators, main vacuum pump, and the hundreds of tiny bellows that activated the keys. Easy repairs included replacing just the large diameter hoses to restore full suction power, you can see a modern hose clamp underneath the keybed area near the pump. One word of caution - don't leave the power connected to this piano when there's nobody there! One reason for the relative rarity of the electric coin-op pianolas, was a propensity for paper-dust buildup plus switch failure and/or electric motor winding failure, to arc over and catch fire (!), burning the poor beast to ash (and often taking the parlour with it!) Cheers! Hope this piano can be restored and enjoyed for another 100 years! (I have a manual foot-pedal pumped Canadian-made Gourlay pianola way down here in New Zealand, a model "specially made for the Australian and NZ climate", whereas imported English or German pianos intended for their domestic markets often developed warped cases and keybeds, sticking keys, and/or soundboard cracks, after being shipped here).
All that humming stuff uses a lot of electricity! Please be aware of that! The coil of a single 100 amp three phase contactor uses about 1kWh per day if turned on!
You know, all the urban exploration videos show people sneaking around places and keeping a low profile. Its weirdly satisfying seeing someone just march through one of these places turning on every light they can for a change...
Man, I would have a blast. I'd probably even take hours (or days) of time and map out all the electrical. Recording what did and didn't work. Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated by the physical plant operations inside large buildings. Electrical rooms, boiler rooms, etc.
That electric piano at 10:04 is the absolute kicker! I´m amazed it still holds tune and works! Please keep that, nothing says psych ward like that. If You move it: please be careful, it´s a real cool piece.
We did fire sprinkler work for an active ward in south Georgia. Everything in this place was so different, it was like stepping into another world. Everything was smooth and anything that wasn't smooth was so well guarded with thick plastic that it was mounted to the studs and could only be accessed from a crawl space above the rooms.Change a light, crawl space. Smoke detector was recessed into the ceiling with thick plastic and holes drilled into it. The same was true for the fire alarms. Heck, even the panels for light switches and alarms were recessed into the walls with extremely thick plastic that required a long key. You would think that there would be some mood lifting artwork everywhere. The only place you saw that was in the visiting rooms and reception. Otherwise, it was all white. These types of places are never fun and you often times have a lot more freedoms in prison. The screaming and wails we heard were bone chilling. I feel sorry for everyone there, especially since this place was for minors.I really hope they get the help they need to live a rich full life.
Knowing those places, it is highly unlikely they ever got any help. Most just die in there from self-infliction (especially in minor wards) or grow old and die inside the building (if it has any ward connected for adults) or after they are sent to a secondary ward and cremated and buried nearby. The families who send them there usually want absolutely nothing to do with them anymore and rescind their identification with the child. So they're either orphans or kids who have practically been forced into being that way. There's nothing really left for them at that point but to suffer and be put under experimentation by whoever owns the wards privately, as there are no longer any federal ones.
Would be funny if an urbexer was exploring that not knowing it was under a new owner and hearing the piano player in a distant room and then having random things turn on and off throughout the building.
Sounds like the beginning of horror movie... Some random students think it's fun to have a party in an abandoned psych ward and for the lulz, they enable all the breakers. An old computer boots up, detects all doors are open and immediately locks the place down, except for ONE door malfunctioning. Guess the rest.
Idk how no one has said it. Those red things with tags, those are LOCK OUT TAGS meaning DO NOT TURN ON! Please turn those off lol. They’re likely open or damaged circuits. It can and will start a fire.
The red devices are designed to prevent turning the breaker to ON without removing the device, if properly installed. He likely didn't flip any of those.
Letting some people play in this could be really amazing! Airsoft, hide and seek, escape room, swat teams, etc. Now that I say it, it would be pretty cool to see the SWAT team go through this building haha!
I can't imagine how old this place must look to people in their 20s. When I was a kid, these buildings were state of the art and for some reason it eerily still looks like it's supposed to be.
If that piano randomly started playing at any point while I was in that building I would have probably shit my pants and then ran like a physco that should have been there hahahahha
No idea why YT recommended me this, not even sure what all this is, but anytime I hear somebody wonder what would happen if all the breakers are turned on (which I sadly dont hear often enough) I am very very interested!
You know, me too! Every time I see someone go to an abandoned building or even like a really abandoned or neglected, etc yacht, car, aircraft, idk anything I always just wanna know what happens if you turn on as many circuits as possible and just see what works and what doesn’t. Glad to see I’m not the only one
Patient room lights are the bars above where the beds used to be. Breaker 18 that tripped with the pop was for a mechanical room according to the panel schedule 13:59
No, he didn't. He turned on the breakers on the other side of the locked ones. Lock-out-tag-out involves an actual lock, he could not flip them if he wanted to - not without cutting the lock off first.
Even with all the final circuit breakers off, those loud humming transformers in the plant rooms are using electricity, and they are on the paid-for side of the meter. You’re clocking up hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month unless you turn them off. This I’d different to a house, where the utility pays for transformer losses. Hospitals usually have an energy center, where power and heat starts off, would make a good video.
That is not exactly the way transformers work. They may buzz due to the alternating current, there is not actual current usage unless a load is being pulled from that transformer. Just like an synchronous motor doesn't use any current while running unless there is a load connected to that motor.
@@grandinosourYou are 100% wrong. ALL transformers draw current even when unloaded. (Not a lot of current usually but more than enough to register on a utility meter.) Same with ALL electric motors. In fact, ALL electrical devices that do not have a power switch WILL draw power when on, or in standby.
fuck that. he needs to check all the doors and put locks on them. not that that will keep them out, but it'll make it obvious if someone breaks in. a CCTV system wouldn't hurt either.
If some of the breakers won't turn on, that's probably a good thing. It's likely that there is a fault somewhere or something important was stolen out of the walls and/or ceiling.
Hey, pour a gallon of water down every single sink, toilet, floor drain, and shower.. or perhaps antifreeze. But that will kill the sewage gas smell. Dry traps are no good.
It is possible to bust those bulbs into small enough pieces that a patient could forge weaponry in order to be able to fight but yeah, I suppose they could beat the shit out of each other too.
Dudes just casually strolling through an old empty what is sort of like an asylum AT NIGHT like nothing. I got jumpscared when he got excited about some lights
Hey just the safety tip I see you're concerned about arc flash. When you turn on power. You're supposed to have all the breakers turned off in the panels then turn on the main Breakers (the ones with the levers) the idea is to turn the main on with very little load that way it's less likely to Ark. At that point you turn on each breaker one at a time which creates a gradual increase rather than a gigantic one all at once. Also I have no idea what your plans are but I was part of a construction crew that turned an abandoned Hospital compound into multiple Apartments. The whole trick is you start with the tower that's closest to the street remodel, that then move to the next building. Then you rent the front building that's completed. The good part is your renters see you working on the other building and understand that you're going to remodel the rest of the property so they continue to rent. If you make the first building very nice Word of Mouth gets out and the second building rents even faster
08:22 all that kitchen equipment coming on for the first time in years is creepy af. You’re a braver man than I, I certainly wouldn’t be standing anywhere near there 😂

Patients are not supposed to be in the rooms except at night…they’re supposed to be in therapy…or counseling… the bathroom will have a light…the lights in the hall allowed psych techs to check on patients to make sure they were where they were scheduled to be…they’d report to us…I am a neuropsychiatric nurse practitioner student…used to be a psych nurse and ED nurse before that…
No way!! I’ve always wanted to see something like this, going into an abandoned place and just turning things on and seeing what works. I didn’t think anyone would ever actually do it. A literal dream come true - thank you!!
This is exciting!! I love abandoned buildings but to find out you bought it its yours and you’re tinkering and having fun and games to see whats intact and working and what isnt. This is a treat!
Some of those breakers might be in a 'tripped' state, which requires you push them all the way to OFF before turning them back to ON. I would question however, WHY a breaker is tripped before leaving one on for a long period. There might be a good reason!
Agreed, there are many collectors who might want to purchase that and restore it. Also posting for anyone who wants to know, the song that was being played was "Under the eagle", an old march from I think Austria-Hungary
Nice backrooms level you got there. Very cool to see a lot of stuff still working, please keep as much of the lighs as fluorescent or incandescent. You should try sleeping in that building haha
Apr '05 based on the calendar in that one bathroom. Based on the look of the place, I would've guessed it was empty for more like 30 yrs, but properties do go downhill kinda fast when unused. The feller that designed this building probably doesn't WANT to remember anything about this place either. 🤣 This building would be great to model to use for a setting for some horror or post-apocolyptic game.
Close the covers on the panels when you walk away. Not doing so is partly how places end up burning down during renovations. You need sparks and fire to be contained in the steel boxes if something happens.
@@Lavadawg thats the point to switching to led. it may cost more upfront, but it makes sense long term. Not to mention you can do it overtime, so you wont have a high upfront cost.

The fact that the players piano still works. The fact that this hospital has a players piano in it.
10:08 imagine that piano play by it self in the abandoned building 💀
The shit is out of tune too :P Oh wait, psych ward, so it doesn't matter, yeah !
This is exciting!! I love abandoned buildings but to find out you bought it its yours and you’re tinkering and having fun and games to see whats intact and working and what isnt. This is a treat!
If I had a place like that I’d turn it into a huge escape room puzzle.
Some of those breakers might be in a 'tripped' state, which requires you push them all the way to OFF before turning them back to ON.
I would question however, WHY a breaker is tripped before leaving one on for a long period. There might be a good reason!
It’s all fun and games until you hear the piano start playing again, but you’re in another area of the building…😬😅
That piano was freaky
oh my god that automatic piano was so cool!
Agreed, there are many collectors who might want to purchase that and restore it.
Also posting for anyone who wants to know, the song that was being played was "Under the eagle", an old march from I think Austria-Hungary
At ~10:05
My god you should own an arc suit for throwing all those switches 🤣
I love the fact that there was a working player piano in the building.👍
It’s weird how he didn’t even say a word about it
Nice backrooms level you got there.
Very cool to see a lot of stuff still working, please keep as much of the lighs as fluorescent or incandescent.
You should try sleeping in that building haha
agreed
When he's walking sometimes it sounds like the Pixar lamp bouncing on the ball
The mere presence of his footsteps evokes fear among the hidden homeless still squatting in that ward, lol.
That piano needs some lube, amazing that it still works
Apr '05 based on the calendar in that one bathroom. Based on the look of the place, I would've guessed it was empty for more like 30 yrs, but properties do go downhill kinda fast when unused. The feller that designed this building probably doesn't WANT to remember anything about this place either. 🤣 This building would be great to model to use for a setting for some horror or post-apocolyptic game.
2005 was 20 years ago....
Should we use LiDAR or Photogrammetry to create a 3D model of it?
@@TheOneAndOnlyOuuo Now I feel ancient 😱😱😱
10:20 actually quite amazing that still works, the tubing in those things is very fragile!
Ghosts when they have to pay the electricity bill 😱
Of course there's a Rei here :p
Can you show off the nurse call system? If any functional bits are left
A working player piano is a pretty good find imo
How did my TH-cam go from watching a video about Xbox 360s to this??? 💀
Good will shouldn't have recommended this video to me?
Was watching a video about a race car build i been following and it recommended me this lol
Close the covers on the panels when you walk away. Not doing so is partly how places end up burning down during renovations.
You need sparks and fire to be contained in the steel boxes if something happens.
this is the least menacing abandoned psycho ward video ive ever seen, good job
Switch it all to LED, and remove all the ballasts! Ballasts still use electricity even when there's no bulb!
Man, shut up! He cannot even afford the power bill!
@@Lavadawg thats the point to switching to led. it may cost more upfront, but it makes sense long term. Not to mention you can do it overtime, so you wont have a high upfront cost.
Nah, fluorescent is better
that was actually fun to watch ( just a viewer being honest )
