Brother, I just copy what's on the roll into the description... if you're saying they put the wrong label on it then there's nothing I can do about that!
@@PiotrBarcz I always get confused from when it was made. I believe it was 60s though. Robert Perry (autopiano) says it’s from the 60s but Ron Odell (Keeper1st) claims it’s from the 20s. I’m not a piano roll expert though, just putting that information out there.
I've heard when ragtime came out it was the catchiest thing they had ever heard. People were surprised they were tapping their foot/wanting to move to the music. People weren't used to that at the time. Wild. Still great fun today.
Why are the reply buttons turned off? Anyway, I think the piano sounds perfect. These types of songs should not have a perfectly turned piano because it negates the old-school heart and soul of the song.
I don't know how it works...lol...I understand your sentiment...but During the old school days they actually did tune the pianos... You're used to hearing clips from saloon themed scenes in movies... They also used Mandolin Rail that gives a sound like what you are referring to.
I wonder if it might be well-tempered rather than equal-tempered -- after all, even though the idea of equal temperament goes back to (at least) the 1500s, it took a LONG time for it to take over. Reportedly Sergei Rachmaninoff said that his early piano lessons were on a piano that was well-tempered rather than equal-tempered, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for Scott Joplin, although I haven't heard anything to that effect for him.
Feeling is absolutely part of correctly performing using a player piano. But as far as the actual notes are arranged and played, you're correct, this is a recording by the performer. So that guy up above is saying that Scott Joplin had no feeling.
Are you kidding me?! Lol....it's got all new strings. Yes..not perfect but better than 90% of what you will find... will you please pay my Piano Technician to tune it again? If so it might not disappoint you so much...
This piano was restored by ...basically...the best available. The player - also restored by nearly the best... I won't stop working on it until it's perfect, but what do you have to show?

This is the 1920s J Lawrence Cooke swing recut of the original non swing 1916 Connorized heavily edited Joplin roll.
This can't be from the 20s. it's from the 50s. the 9000 series started in the 1950s.

@@minimalizman That's not what we're saying mate, we're griping about Cook's mistake, your video has nothing to do with it xD
@@PiotrBarcz Damnit, J. Lawrence Cook! What an idiot... 🤣 ...KIDDING, of course!...

I love this verion. Its right about perfect in my opinion.
@@henryharris3431 I'm going to re-record it now that my piano has been tuned.
This is really great. I wonder what everyone made of the Maple Leaf Rag when they first heard it. It must have been mindblowing. It still is!

This is awesome!! I like that this version is being played a bit slower than how I've seen it played in other videos.
Joplin said Ragtime should NOT be played fast...true fact...
What a treat!
Nice swing to it... I guess that's how Joplin wanted it to sound
No, it's an edit.
Too fast and it loses definition.
Yeah, this sounds WAY different from the recording of it that I have of E. Power Biggs playing it on a pedal harpsichord, which I dug.
Nice
Hermoso
There's a tiny bit more stuff going on in the left hand that makes me feel it's not what Joplin played.
@ayokay123 I just copy over what's on the label...

@@minimalizman Yeah I agree, I am used to hearing the songs played in movies on old, out of tune pianos, lol. Good call.
@harveywallbanger6258 a lot of people like that and there's nothing wrong with it! Just not myself... happy listening!
It sounds perfectly out of tune, as it should.😊
@@user417s4 umm...well...about that.... lol - I don't know...
It doesn't sound out of tune to me.
@OmniversalInsect yeah...actually almost perfectly... 🤷♂️

Technically correct but no feeling
Not correct at all, the roll is a travesty, though the piano isn't xD
Do you expect feeling from a player piano? :)
@123Chevyman Isn't it meant to be a recording from an actual pianist?
Feeling is absolutely part of correctly performing using a player piano. But as far as the actual notes are arranged and played, you're correct, this is a recording by the performer. So that guy up above is saying that Scott Joplin had no feeling.
Although I will admit it does seem a bit sloppy. It might have been somewhat less than a completely accurate representation of his performance.
What a pity that the piano is somewhat out of tune. 😞
Are you kidding me?! Lol....it's got all new strings. Yes..not perfect but better than 90% of what you will find... will you please pay my Piano Technician to tune it again? If so it might not disappoint you so much...
One does not expect a newly restored piano to keep its tune for very long... It's just physics and part of breaking in a piano...
This piano was restored by ...basically...the best available. The player - also restored by nearly the best... I won't stop working on it until it's perfect, but what do you have to show?
