First, this is awesome! Second, is this the only video available for this beautiful piece of history? Third, provided you could get the rights, etc, Simply Red's Fairground would be apt. ;) Hard to believe that this would have been a fairground/carnival attraction in its own right a century ago. Show it to kids today and they probably wouldn't fully appreciate it. But then again, they might on here. You Sir, are an excellent custodian of this awesome piece of history.

[@themaconeau]

I'd be the same. But then again, you would have to be extremely resourceful with that organ - not as if you could buy spare parts for it >.< I do admit to being stereotypical in the previous comment. I'm sure if I had a big enough sample size, I would more than likely be surprised at the results. I mean, the fact this video has nearly 4M views means something.

[@perciusmandate]

What’s even cooler is when you realize this organ is basically a 100+ year old analogue binary computer. You put a file in and it runs a program based upon which places have a hole (1) or no hole (0).

[@louf7178]

Nextralife Wouldn't that still be digital? -The reading part? The playing is on the analog side.

[@TM4CHII]

Lou Fazio it would still be analogue, as it involves moving parts (if I remember correctly)

[@louf7178]

Pheonix Arising My bad. Binary is what I was thinking.

[@jsus159]

Nextralife it is not a computer because you can't simulate a turing machine on it. It is quite impressive though.

[@perciusmandate]

Jesus Adfasd: This organ is a textbook example of a deterministic Turing machine. A DTM reads a symbol off of a program tape and writes a corresponding symbol based upon what it has read. In a DTM, each read symbol X will have a single write symbol output Y. Similarly, this organ reads unique notes off of a program written onto a long sheet of paper as either a hole (1) or no hole (0). Based upon the finite number of unique combinations of 1 and 0, the organ is theoretically capable of being scaled to produce an equally finite number of unique output signals as musical notes. Each unique combination of 1 and 0 “read” from the sheet can be “written” as a unique musical note or chord. Given input signal X, the organ will always output note Y and, barring mechanical failure of the organ or the music sheet, will never output random notes for a given, established read symbol. Now, what this machine is not that a modern electronic computer is, is a universal Turing machine. A UTM can simulate any other given Turing machine, be they DTM or NTM, and thus theoretically solve any mathematical problem. This organ, even with its binary language, could be made into a UTM. It would need 15 different modes however, rather than this organ’s single mode. In fact, there are real world examples of them right here on KZbin. Just search “mechanical Turing machine”.

[@calebanthony3490]

[@chrishamilton7107]

No it will be like someone playing Bohemian Rhapsody in 2060 lol. Despacito is dead now, it won't have remotely the same impact as Bohemian Rhapsody, isn't nearly as good, and it's a shame on youtube it has a few billion more views even though I'm pretty sure it's not as well known (then again, there's several different videos of Bohemian Rhapsody).

[@rtlthemusician5598]

[@theskyisfalling3042]

The most mindblowing thing I see is how the 100-year old note reader seems to have no problems with all those paper folds. While my printer gets stuck on the smallest paper fold; and loves creating more paper folds on its own from time to time.

[@emberZemian]

[@DarkFlamage]

@Amy Zee Like the way your brain works. Great comment! 🤣🤣

[@nlhn638]

While the reply is funny, I believe the usual problem is papers sticking together; since all the paper here is attached, very easy to separate. And yes, paper jams have no right to happen; it should be an easy solution.

[@КЛИН-е2з]

This instrument was clearly maintained in a very good condition and fixed whenever something broke down and also the cost of this instrument and your printer can't even be compared. The printer was made from cheap materials and is in general cheap unlike this instrument

[@Logan-zp8bi]

Modern printers are actually designed to fail or seem crummy or outdated. Its because the technology has been perfected enough it can't be improved much further, and one printer can last decades. Because of this printer companies need to keep afloat some how so most stop making cartridges or intentionally design the printer to die when the warranty expires. Oddly this has led people to buy printers from the 80s, 90s, 2000s.

For the ones who are curious!: This is a 81 key Marenghi dance organ. Dance organs were used in the beggining of the XX Century in dance halls, where people would pay for the organ to play a song to dance (they usually were short songs so people would pay more lol). Dance organs are different from fairground organs and band organs, but they are all mechanical organs. Dance organs are usually less loud and way bigger, while fairground organs and band organs (Like the one you see in carousels) are designed to be very loud, so they can mask the sound of the machinery and people voices. Some mechanical organs play with music books (like the one you saw at the beggining of the video), others play with rolls (similar to pianollas) and others have been addapted in modern times to play MIDI from a computer or cellphone! Besides Marenghi, other manufacturers of mechanical organs are: -Gavioli, Wurlitzer, Artizan, Hooghuys, Frati, Debrüder, DECAP, Verbeek and many more ^^

[@bobsmith6544]

Theoretically you could use a MIDI like that to quickly design the sheet music for one of these by transposing the different tracks to the relevant horizontal spaces on the sheets for the corresponding instruments.

Only problem with that would be knowing the correct instrument switches which are on the left hand side of the card. You will need to activate and deactivate them in a correct order to hear what you hear now.
