Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina 3

[@TheWorld_2099]

This is the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen, as a composer and music producer. Yes, there is digital technology to make music, quickly and efficiently, but nothing beats analog technology and real sequencing like this. The sound is real, and the feel is real. Truly a masterpiece..!

[@MezzoForte4]

I almost want to cry. This is such beautiful machinery and music.

[@larryjohnson6385]

Beautifully said👍

[@MTSVW]

I’m guessing the person who invented this would probably work at Apple or Microsoft today, and be underemployed. It’s rare to get such beauty out of a computer/robot. There are thousands of automated instruments but these Hupfelds are in a category of their own. They really transcend the sum of their parts in a way others never do.

[@madame-rosalitaduchesse7636]

Don t guess it. This person would not like computers like me. He or she would build these wonderfull things out of just nothing: some piece of metall and wood with primitive tools without any computershit.

[@catherinelee4693]

Quite an amazing feat! beautiful wood cabinetry too.

[@lejayarielle3877]

What incredible furniture to music. Rarity and moving surprise for this mechanism. Happiness to see this.

[@PlanetEaterG]

Amazing piece of engineering for the period

Amazing piece of engineering, period

[@ilovecokezeroandmorbius]

clever

[@이해담-n9q]

I agree about this

[@RonBartlett-i7u]

who built this machine certainly knew his way around the bike shed.

[@YVESVROMAN]

Super, Gelukkig dat er mensen bestaan die zulke instrumenten met zoveel zorg kunnen restaureren. Proficiat met het resultaat!!!

[@joymelcher4264]

Beautiful sound.

[@theenginemanfromthepast.]

Things that make you smile.....Fantastic

[@mariolopezlinares5005]

It's a beautiful waltz, fantástico instrumentos, marvelous sound. Thank you for sharing.

[@amosnews]

This is fantastic! It is first generation 100 year old music sampling.

[@Mimicf0x]

Lovely melody. Its like I can hear so many stories just listening to this.

[@micahh9351]

once again, a beautiful sound.

[@iblskeith]

Beautiful!

[@zhuoli2139]

Music from automatic machine has a delicate sense of sadness like a husk calling for its wandering soul.

[@jeffw1267]

That sounds pretty good. Usually the sound from these machines is sort of creepy but not in this case.

[@mrsjaak100]

Prachtig mooi gerestaureerd instrument uit het begin van de vorige eeuw. Het knappe is ook dat alles niet in hetzelfde tempo klinkt, soms hoor je vertragingen enzo. Dat past heel goed bij deze salonmuziek, ik speel het stuk ook op piano, ik heb de originele muziek van het stuk in een oud pianoboek staan. Heel mooi dat ik nu een opname heb van de Lelia wals, bedankt voor het uploaden.

[@lizichell2]

Such incredible mechanisms and so long ago

[@larryjohnson6385]

Totally awesome 👍👍

[@freelancergin]

Great video

[@TRAiNLAGE_world]

The name of this tune is "Lelia", composed by Hugo Hirsch, right?

[@segelwaldi2010]

1:50 wie hat man die Anpassung der Bogendrehzahl so perfekt hinbekommen? Einfach beeindruckend.

[@nielsberkers]

Der Bogen hat 3 verschiedene Geschwindigkeiten und die Möglichkeit, Akzente zu setzen. All dies ist auf der Rolle programmiert. Wenn der Bogen schneller dreht, wird die Geige auch stärker gegen den Bogen gedrückt.

[@segelwaldi2010]

@@nielsberkers Sehr interessant. Finde die Technik dahinter einfach nur beeindruckend.

[@SuperWoodyboy]

Fanastic!

[@guitargresurrect2117]

this is essentially the mechanical antecessor of VST MIDI instruments or Sound Modules

[@T1mm0s]

I don't know why, but this gives me an Uncanny Valley effect.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

The musician who arranged this roll would probably love you for this comment, because it means then you're actually hearing THEM (their original ideas they arranged into the roll), and no longer the machine :) They'd probably also love Max for getting it restored and putting up these videos.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

My best guess (and it's probably 100% on target), as a working professional musician, as to why the original Hupfeld arrangers for the violin players, orchestrions etc chose to remain anonymous, was probably, they didn't want their musical reputation endangered by an instrument in bad condition doing a very bad job of playing their arrangements. Since- of course, the instrument can't know how good or bad it is sounding, only the people who listen to it.

[@wigwagstudios2474]

Super 1900s it makes me think of old woodgrain and film reels holy shit I love it

[@Ichigo_Keba]

I think that we have lowered in tech because the phonoliszt violina is said that its the most complex piece of machinery the whole instrument group of the type is very complex and the fact that it the same size of a large standing cabinet hint the name if the instrument group "Musical Cabinets"

[@jacktrablinski1291]

this is one of the many pieces of proof that german engineering is not beatable.

[@jachymdolejs5156]

I couldnt find the song, even though i looked it up by the name from description. Is there somewhere a recording of thhis by some orchestra?

[@thomashenden71]

That sounds something like from a Charles Chaplin movie… 🥰

[@ferociousgumby]

What is that booming noise in the background??

[@rickytheredfox5893]

I suspect it's the air pumps for the pneumatics.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

I think that's the pump flap valves thumping. The flap valves keep the air moving in the correct direction (in this case, out of the system, since it's a suction system like most paper roll operated instruments).

[@arq9731]

does anyone have sheet music for this? if yes can i please have? thank you

[@scarredboredbox]

Gahh! is there a recording of live musicians playing this song? or like, another record of its existence?

[@mikefeddersen2476]

Yes, I was thinking it would be curious to know how many musicians are needed to create the same song/piece.

[@dennisspinkshappyforbusker2523]

I imagine a version of mexicalo rose played on this! *I think it would somehow work lol 😂

[@ronaldgoff7499]

the genius of great men late 19th to 20th century records was cheap way replace these only clubs rich people had these

[@chinchinlinlin9992]

But can it play Paganini

[@WelteMax]

ChinChinLinLin999 yes - the rolls were made for it.

[@chinchinlinlin9992]

WelteMax wait so this thing can do left pizzicato?

[@jacktrablinski1291]

@@chinchinlinlin9992 it can basically do anything, if there is a roll for it, it can be played

[@lucasemanuelgenova9179]

@@chinchinlinlin9992 chill out dude... left pizzicato is just a flex

[@Nico93]

There is a hupfeld at the house on the rock but its horrible out of tune and a stuck note

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Well- it's probably due for a service call. I heard it in August 2006 right after (before?) an MBSI meeting where they'd had it worked on and it sounded GREAT! It was the first one my Dad had ever heard live (he's a musician) and he was very impressed!

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Time for another service call. I heard that same one play GREAT in August 2006.

@Sam Morex It needs a new motor
