Thanks for listening. The sound of course depends on the condition of the instrument. Unfortunately, there are only a few craftsmen left who can repair a pianola well.
@@Duo-ArtI'd like to share with you a connection our family has with this era, my Great uncle was born in 1894. And he played the Piano in many theaters for Silent Movies..He eventually wound up as school music teacher. Served in WW1 Along with his brother, my grandfather who was born in 1889. Uncle Conrad was a truly great guy, funny, and a gentleman. Even in his mid 90s, he would play the piano for us from memory, many songs, and of course some RAGTIME!!! He ripped them off amazingly well, and everyone enjoyed his performances! He passed away in May of 94, 4 months after his 100th birthday, He had not been ill, simply told his family he wasn't feeling too well and was going to take a nap. He never woke up. We asked the Executer of his estate if we could have his piano, and we were given it. I remember he told me he bought it in 1924 when he turned 30. . Its a very nice, slightly ornate SCHILLER upright . All the keys work, it still in fairly decent tune, and not a single chip on the keys! Be well!
@@1958Cadillac-v2g In my lifetime, I've been Blessed to have known two people who played piano for silent movies. Their technique is somehow different from other piano artists.
Absolutely agree. Ragtime is not supposed to played that fast. One musician who got it right was Ethel Smith. Her rendition of Maple Leaf Rag on the Hammond organ is perfection.
Hello, thanks for listening. The piece of music was played at the specified speed. This probably corresponds to the contemporary taste of the 20s and 30s.
Personification of Ragtime

@@Duo-ArtI definitely think this is the best sounding antique piano I've heard! Seems to be good tune..love it.
I'm happy to welcome anyone who is also interested in this ancient technology.
Thank you for your compliment.

Odd, this roll (or how it's being played) is in A major, unlike the original piece
Too Fast

@@Duo-Art Putting a link to another video that plays it too fast is not proof that it should be played that fast.
