If it's played by Bob Berkman it definitely isn't rare, Berkman is still around, he's one of the few piano roll arrangers still working for the company.

Oh, i thought it was rare as i've only seen one or two videos of the roll on yt

Great job, Do you have any video about how that player piano works? That would be great. I last played an Allen church organ around 2005. I actually got paid for going to church. LOL The siren group I belong to really likes your video. is it mostly tornado sirens?

[@PiotrBarcz]

For how fast your pumping and how all the notes are pretty much playing it seems you've done some major leak repairing! The piano plays really nicely!

[@dangerousnoodle3730]

I actually didn't do anything to it, maybe it was because the vacuum box? Thanks anyway!

@@dangerousnoodle3730 That and the motor governor, that probably was leaking quite a bit
