- Cylinder Orchestrion ( Walzen-Orchestrion) probably by Josef Stern (1848-1902), Villingen. Restoration work by Pauliphonic, Belgium ( pauliphonic.be/en/en-pauliphon... )

Dude, this reminds me of a record i found at the goodwill, of recordings of these machines playing. The cover talks about how it's meant to preserve their sounds for future generations since their numbers are dwindling. This record was from the 70s i think? This gave me the same vibe. Thanks for preserving another piece of their history.
All gears had to be cleaned and oiled. Wiring replaced, etc. Great job!
oh my word, what an incredibly lovely sound. gorgeous
Èxcellent loud brill my grandma ran a pub years and had a self play piano dont no where it went i am 53 been look at buy one for myself they are excellent
For years I've been trying to identify that piece, maybe this is the chance - beautiful
Show this video to a music scholar! They may know!
Valse de Faust, opéra de Charles Gounod
Imagin how rediculouly long it took to pin that barrel.
No wander why they start looking a system that could be mechanize ... that will become perforated card-books... paper rolls ...then much later.... streamed music !
Yes, but those who had lots of experience could do it pretty fast!
Although this film is edited and doesn't include the full length footage of the entire process for one tune, check out how fast Mr. Tomasso was able to do it!: th-cam.com/video/dHcmIcP7ouo/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic
There is another instrument exactly like this one in the Deutsches Automatenmuseum. Their instrument was built by Josef Stern and is apparently called "Astra"
❤
imagine you want to collect songs for this device.
You gonna need a warehouse to store all those drums in.
Indeed, each cylinder contain 10 tunes. This instrument use interchangeable cylinder. I just add a picture of the 6 spare cylinders to give you an idea of the size. Picture 4 of the gallery :

Imagine a drum that is programmable.
Like say: A drum with small spikes that can lift up outside or go back down inside the drum.
And a little Rasberry computer on the side, or how you call em thinggies.
And some usb port or blue tooth connection.
And inside the drum is a way to make the spikes appear or disappear.
And all you have to do is plug it into your computer, upload the music files, and the internal components make sure the correct spikes will are put in place. Are sticking out the drum.
Sure, it takes a bit of work but with today's technology i am sure it is not impossible.
Imagine having such a drum.
You could play every kind of music on it easily.
And if you have 2 or 3, you can set up the music in advance to play the next song.
You can even do requests on the spot.
Just an idea i came up with on the spot.

With a bit more imagination you could make up the music while it is playing. Like in a live stream
Yes, usually barrel pianos and organs only had one or two spare cylinders, if any. Due to the size and weight.
However, some barrel orchestrions of the pipe-organ type (like Welte, Imhof & Mukle etc) were supplied with a good many cylinders each (sometimes over a dozen), which were stored in a separate cabinet with the instrument.
Not all of those have survived of course, but a few of these instruments do survive with nearly their entire original repertoire of cylinders.
Obviously when paper rolls came in, that changed everything.
However, barrel piano orchestrions of the type shown in this video continued to be produced into the 1920s, by makers in Europe, because their all-mechanical action is very rugged and stands up better in certain climates (different humidity etc) than do pneumatic actions which can be a bit more delicate.
thanks for this information.
Wish i could build one myself. But i have no building plans or blueprints or such. I do understand a lot of the mechanics, but a building plan would help out a heck of a lot to for example see the routing of the air and all that kind of stuff.
I have tried searching one, but never was suc6ful so i gave up the search.
Since you seem so in touch with this stuff, perhaps you can point me to a website or something where i can find such a blueprint/building plan.
It is just a hobby for me to try and recreate something which i probably screw up along the way, but trying is also satisfying.

EXELENTE.! MARAVILLOSO.!!
Don't make them like this anymore, wish I had one , thanks for sharing
Topp Leistung!
Faust Waltz (Gounod)
How much would something like this have cost?
Do you mean the restoration cost or the price of this instrument by the time it was made ?
Вау! Как удивительно!
Fun!!!
Good restoration and sound, but why did you reverse the video at 1.16?
It's actually an excellent question, I never notice it and I even don't know how I did that. (good eyes, I owe you a drink !)
Orchestrion Etzold und Popitz, Leipzig--cca 1900-1910, type Eldorado XII oder XIV
Is it purely electro-mechanical, without any pneumatics?
Yes it is. This model was also made using only a large spring. The motor and the speed controller were an option, depending if electrify were available in the area.
It must be a real chore to change drums
@@o-benone5435 I was referring to the Music Drum (New song)
@@BillMasters56 If the orchestrion is designed with multiple barrels ( not drums ) they can be changed easily. I have a similar machine with three barrels that are removed and replaced from the front, not out of the side of the case. I can change a barrel in less that one minute.

Oh yes, sorry, the cylinder/barrel are easy to change, not too heavy, very good design to lock the barrel on the right position. See more pictures of the restoration and the cylinder here :pictures.pauliphonic.be/#collection/102
The piano sounds more like a clavichord
Hammers are very hard and there aren't any proper dampers.
You can actually install that to a carousel
Most of the carousel used instrument are more "mechanical organ" than "mechanical piano" instrument like : th-cam.com/video/MQHoTquvFWA/w-d-xo.html
It's ok , whatever everybody chooses
It's still very lovely
It's just still wonderful for both a carousel no matter what :)
Poor neighborhood
No direct neighbours 😂!
