2:03 There's the Bow Rosin in the back.

[@jimthesoundman8641]

I've read that most of the owners of these instruments have disconnected the bow rosin block because if it tries to put rosin on the bow, but the block is too worn down, it will tear the bow into shreds and that's an extremely expensive proposition to get that repaired. So most owners put the rosin on by hand.

In deed but it is still an incredible technical performance, more than a musical. Hopefully violinist performance was never achieve, or even close to be, by mechanical musical instrument. Actually this type of machine where no more developed after the improvement of sound recording in the 1930th. But it is still quiet incredible to see that so many effort where made !

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@UCi6911j0UvL__IifD5yg9Ag The very Iconic thing about this machine is that the Violins have Machine head tuners instead of the traditional Friction Pegs cause this helps it hold tune better.

Fascinating mechanism! How is the speed of the circular bow generated? I noticed that its speed varies as the song is played. Thanks for posting.

[@o-benone5435]

Indeed the speed varies. The speed is controlled by what is called a pneumatic motor (unfortunately it can not be seen on this video). The paper roll contains the speed information. Not exactly the same disposition but similar to what can be seen on another video of our channel : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4fXoJdnia98ndUsi=qCVUAZdYWeNwBQ4w&t=17

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

@@o-benone5435 The speed range is very limited due to the primitive nature of the mechanism using traditional pneumatics which have their limitations Compare this to the Mills violiana which is far more advanced as it is electro magnetic & has a far greater dynamic range using an electric bow motor which can speed up & slow down in a way that no pneumatic mechanism can.

[@verkehrsteilnehmer-berlin]

Never knew, that it could also vibrato.

[@o-benone5435]

The frequency of the vibrato is even controlled by holes in the music paper roll.

[@verkehrsteilnehmer-berlin]

@@o-benone5435 I knew only some examples, where the tone was more like a hurdy-gurdy.
