O-roll Orchestrion plays the "Atlanta Rag"

[@juanferreira5931]

Pre-electronics data storage and retrieval/music synthesis. Great!

[@Ebinspurdo]

Not synthesis. Automation. ;-)

[@bobloblaw9679]

it's not synthesizing anything lol it is playing

[@OrganMusicYT]

It's not synthesizing the sound of anything. It's a musical instrument of it's own. If it were a pipe organ, and there were pipe organs with player systems, then you would get away with saying it is synthesis, as they more often than not include imitation sounds of real orchestral instruments.

[@berntd]

This is actually one of the best O roll players I have heard. As annoying as O-roll players can be, this is smooth and not unpleasant. Very nice!

[@marilyncarrier]

That big wheel is so pretty. Craftsman took care in creating this machine.

[@artesanatosberilo7460]

De onde nasce inspiração ?

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

It's also in very good tune...huzzah!

[@electronicsandmusic2077]

the fact it can even turn on and off the mandolin bar is amazing

[@sethbarry8811]

And the guitar harp has a nice sound to, not too tinney

[@paulis7319]

This is the pinnacle of what can be done with mechanics and a little electrical engineering. As no improvement is available, then you have to change of technology.

[@ronaldl9085]

Awesome! Much nicer to watch all those moving parts than a modern computer.

[@xyreniaofcthrayn1195]

Technically this a computer albeit one made for a highly specific task.

[@buddyslowhand7647]

An amazing piece of art and technology! Just stunning! As a kid I saw orchestrions from time to time and I loved them. Today they have almost completely disappeared. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeythesquid1427]

I can't believe a roll of paper is doing all that.

[@christianx8494]

Perforated paper was used to make complicated patterns for weaving. Then the system got adopted for self-playing instruments, and only then did the metal industry see the potential of that technology to turn, bore and mill engine parts and exchangeable parts for mass production.

[@elfurrohetero3518]

Lovely Orchestrion, all the stuff is perfectly tunes and it sounds amazing, with such a good song. Nice video.

[@Sielok16]

This needs to be on spotify. This exact video and music.

[@Timedelayedfuse]

It even plays with "feel", emphasizing certain notes more than others. Very organic playing.

[@Masuraodesu]

As far as I know, orchestrions suffer from a lack of note dynamics because of the way notes are recorded. So it's hardly possible to talk about any "feel" here =)

[@Timedelayedfuse]

@@Masuraodesu fascinating. My ear says differently. People like you just enjoy disagreement. What I said was a subjective interpretation you maniac.

[@Masuraodesu]

@@Timedelayedfuse I'm not a maniac, I just play piano, and we studied similar devices in music history class. But if you hear dynamics - ok, I don't mind, just let's not get personal.

[@RattataPrincess2007]

That is really cool!

[@morissobakin1294]

Really great machine!

[@thesoundsmith]

What a project! Very cool. (You know they make midi sequencers now, right?)😎 Next - a midi to piano-roll converter. (I'm not making fun, I'm in awe!)

[@TomW2034]

I thought the quad-mounted air pumps on a cam were cool. Is that common and I have never noticed?

[@DuoArtOrgan]

Yes that type of pump is quite common in many orchestrions and reproducing pianos.

[@grandcarriage1]

I agree. That is so cool. It needs a window over it. I can just watch it continually.

[@guymandudely324]

Seeing and hearing James P. Johnson play this piece was truly a musical marvel.

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Oooh, how much of this is air vs electric motors? Are those bellows behind that wheel, just for the accordion section? What a marvel.

[@Helio-vn9ts]

Que maravilha de máquina. Sucessos

[@aidanfisher97]

I love that song actually!

[@Gennettor-nc8kx]

Great machine although I have a feeling that the "accordeon notes" (is that the correct description?) that came in at the end were rather out of time - an air leak or is the roll imperfectly punched for those notes?

[@shockingguy]

So cool just pure fun

[@MrPlusses]

Needs more cowbell.🙂

[@ThePearsch]

Those mini pipes are sure funny.

[@8yura]

Excellent !!!Amazing!!!Wonderful!!!👍👍👍

[@bellowphone]

That's a really great sounding orchestrion. Really nice voicing and arrangement. How do you get the rolls made? Is that some sort of diaphragm-reed rank up on top? And presumably that's free reeds on that rank underneath? Anyway, great job; now I have to check out more of your work.

[@bellowphone]

And watching that quad reciprocating air pump behind the wheel is mesmerizing. I built what I call a radial ball pump, which is a similar idea but uses three 7" rubber balls arranged around a crankshaft, to pump up the reservoir of my raucous beating-reed organ.

[@MazSwanboroughSmith]
