Joueuse de Tympanon - automate

[@lourdesajramos6774]

Hard to believe that was made in 1772. Restored in 1864. Genius creation !!!

[@Leukefilms]

My coughing chimney is a creepy guy

[@Skadi609]

The fact that they made such a sophisticated automate at the time speaks volumes about the brilliance of its creator 😀. Wonderful piece of work...

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

European genius

[@queenmary301]

@@sticksnstonespatriot1728 Germans in particular. I love my European ancestry. makes me very proud

[@oksanakoprakova3746]

The first time it began to move They must have thought it is magic. How could people build something so beautiful

[@2Ryled]

It is astounding even today!

[@danielda4471]

Hmm 18th century wasn't middle ages... and specially paris was a pretty modern city.

[@heru-deshet359]

Very patiently.

so much people think they are more able than those who were before

Il Settecento è stato un secolo di meraviglie!

[@michellelau9046]

this is beautiful and the craftsmanship is stunning

[@sabersgrrlchannel8054]

creepy and beautiful, i wished i owned such a masterpiece!

[@sabersgrrlchannel8054]

@Ross Sinclair obviously i'm saying creepy in a good way, like haunting. i just said it was beautiful and wished i owned one. what are you having difficulty understanding?

[@creepswu9639]

Didn't even left the eyes movement OMG what a wonderful creation

[@aukua5512]

It's amazing that this came from the 1700s that it still works (if they take good care of it well and properly), it will last a long time. I'm surprised that every part of the animatronic/robot/mechanic figure moves, due to the rods, screws, and metal, that it is one of the first animatronics ever created. The machinery hidden under the woman's skirt moves the head, arms, and eyes. At first, it looks creepy, cause it's the way how it was designed, but it's truly a amazing masterpiece. It's beautiful.

[@narudayo5053]

This is not one of the first, at the same period japanese and other civilization where doing similar things. For Japan it's even more elaborated and they are called Karakuri puppets kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2bdin5ve92CiKs. Also animatronics existed even centuries before.

[@mitri10inches]

Truly the period of fine art in all things. The French are such leaders and masters of art and style. My favorite period which is so beautifully represented by this masterpiece of craftsmanship!

[@KarlMartell732]

Made in Germany actually, the video says it at some point.

[@levacquerosalie972]

C'est un grand inventeur. Bravo et merci pour votre partage.

[@wolkenstern1375]

Was für eine wundervoll spieluhr ... Ist doch sehr schade das sowas nicht mehr neu hergestellt wird ... Der klang verzaubert immer wieder .. Sehr sehr lieben dank 😍😍😍😘💞💞🕯😇🤗😊

[@deaconsmom2000]

What an amazing piece of history!

[@MechanicalSculptor]

Absolutely remarkable! What amazes me most is the subtle gestures, as I am familiar with the complicated mechanics that it would have involved to include them. A true work of love and art!

[@TigerRose246]

Holy Hannah!! What an amazing creation. It boggles the mind to think of how they created this, one bit at a time, with what - hundreds? thousands? of moving parts. I can't help but wonder if after years of skilled craftsmen working on this, day in and day out, fine-tuning it to perfection, maybe Marie and Louis just listened politely to a few tunes, then wandered off and did something else, like kids at Christmas ("Oh, let's go play with the box!"). LOL Humans. Go figure.

This video right here demonstrates the MOST impressive technological achievement in history! This uses no electricity or no computers! This 'proves' evolution does NOT exist! People are not evolving! People are DE-volving! I am telling you, people are becoming more and more retarded as the years go by! The smartest people in history lived hundreds of years ago!

[@augustalavenderblue7353]

I don’t know about Marie Antoinette, but I wonder if Louis wasn’t taken by it. His hobby was watchmaking and so he was probably interested in mechanisms.

[@fruitygarlic3601]

@ Idiocracy is probably your favourite movie, making you one of the only candidates for de-evolution.

[@ballsxan]

Dude there were tower clocks by the late middle ages, so this just matches that time.

[@pabloburgueno9691]

Its gaze at 1:45, wow !

[@mahler71]

Absolutely mind-blowingly clever and gorgeous.

[@BobbieBees]

Quite amazing for something that is now 238 years old.

[@franckcolas8623]

Un'oggetto notevole. Perfetta la sincronia tra movimento(percussione) e musica.Straordinario,un lavoro eccellente!

[@saratotaro1389]

100x100RUJO Infatti incredibile,il fatto che è stata creata nel settecento poi!

[@bizmarkie9112]

Wow, it's amazing how old that thing is. Very beautiful and very intricately made. It's just purely amazing.

[@nyxie3118]

So fascinating. Who knew technology was that developed. The one that can draw and write was mind blowing too.

[@arthurduncan5999]

Absolutly fantastic ...and spooky. the one of the boy writing, watch the eyes

[@imtweetydiva29]

Great video. Robert Houdin is one of my favorite magicians.I have fell in love with these magnificent mechanisims(automatons) as I learn more about these fascinating automatons.

[@WilliamBrothers]

I'm considering purchasing one of these so that I might play these when I come home from work at 11pm, when I will then sit in my Louis XIV oval medallion tufted sage green linen dining chair as I drink a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau.

[@thumbprint7150]

Ha ha, sounds like fun.

[@AJ-dx6bn]

Haha yeah.... *Brings guillotine*

[@terfrocks2583]

Did you buy one? X

[@pepepepinazo9694]

Sooo beautiful

[@animasteph6614]

je travaille au musée et je n'ai pas encore eu la chance de la voir jouer en vrai...merci pour cette vidéo!!!

[@Tutankhsunamun]

No matter how many times I watch this, I am still impressed! I'd Love to have something like her as my own one day...or even be skilled enough to create a replica! Magnificent!

[@wolfeyesnajera6232]

So beautiful how she plays.

[@大福-k3p]

永遠に見てられる

[@JohnAK72]

That's amazing how they crafted such a beautiful piece of engineering back then.

[@rekuse1313]

what i wonderful item, i saw one back in the late 70s it was wonderful to sit and listen to it and watch it. to understand how they made something like this almost 200 years ago. wow

[@susytapia54321]

So many beautiful things in the world

[@cassiebethgriffith]

This is so pretty. I'd love to learn jow it was made, and love the music.

[@desvlogs2352]

Well Madame, underneath the dress she is seated atop her mechanism (And yes she has legs). This mechanism is linked to a barrel, with pins that make the arm strike the strings and cams in the center that rotate the cams back and forth.

[@aikotitilai3820]

C'est impressionnant, quel magnifique automate !

[@SuperKasper333]

Incredible and stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@MrShaun42088]

omg... that is way better than any of today's musicboxes! ..... how amazing!

[@IHeartNoise]

Not sure why, but this makes me sad for some reason. Great music, though!

[@RamdomRando]

I Heart Noise / Ilya S it makes me sad because the owner of this music box was killed, it gives me feels to know she listened to this and i can also hear it but it was her’s she had a fucking music box of herself! If you think about it the king and queen weren’t bad people, they simply didn’t know how to take charge of a kingdom and got too involved in their own little perfect lives and honestly there was not much they could have done.

[@rexthegamergembox]

Maybe there is some backstory

[@user-mv5tm8eu5z]

@Dan Trebune boy what lmao

[@garyv2196]

the piano needs tuning.

[@ieatplastic1756]

@Dan Trebune duuuude that’s not the take away

[@lilangeldreams2846]

Absolument brilliant! Le détail et le soin accordé aux gestures m'impressionnent beaucoup ^^ J'espère pouvoir construire quelque chose d'aussi sophistiqué un jour...

[@ellensalim9069]

Soo..beautiful. This is wonderful!!!

[@ItsDanaFTW]

That's amazing. Instead of bringing back Furbies let's bring back automatons!

[@jeansonne100]

i was unaware craftsmanship like this existed until today

[@cabinseven4759]

A damsel with a dulcimer, in a vision once I saw...

[@thumbprint7150]

A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw; It was an Abyssinian maid, And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight ’twould win me, That with music loud and long, I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome! those caves of ice! You sent me to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, thank you.

[@cinderling5472]

Thumb Print This was so delightful to read! Thank you ❤️

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Yes that's Marie Antoinette playing the Dulcimer. It does sound Mozartey so I believe all 8 pieces she plays were written by Mozart.

[@DizziDulcimer]

HOw super cool is that!! xxx

[@JaydenLawson]

Unreal

[@NekoCat86]

Such a beautiful creation.....

[@oberek92]

nice ! the hammers falling down on the strings make the music - one could have thought the pins on the big wheel shown at the beginning would generate the sound as done usually.

[@Mikey84]

This is what I call art :) Someone should tune the strings, though...

[@MamaTeeHam]

Do her eyeballs move too?

[@Willyliemfams]

no

[@johnnicoll9870]

Yes they do.

[@corkypopsicle1618]

I thought I was just seeing things, but yeah, her eyes move, too.

[@w.pattama.1377]

Hell yes they do

Beautiful I hope Marie enjoyed it.

[@LathrineJadehawk]

Aagh that one dislike was me. I was aiming to Fav it and didn't have my mouse over quite far enough. Definitely don't dislike this; It's beautiful, in an eerie, haunting sort of way.

i love her face..and her eyes..wow...if i was ransacking versi back in the 1700's..id probably would have stolen this amazing music box :3

[@Reki1981]

El gusto de María Antonieta era realmente exquisito, esto es una pieza maravillosa y pensar que muchas cosas se perdieron por los saqueos después de la revolución, una pena.

[@annecohen8927]

How sweet does she play! I like it!

[@반박시내말이맞음-f1y]

How amazing

[@92claudemir]

Wow, absolutely fantastic...

[@Celticswynd]

I can't believe they are handling the dress with bare hands when they lift it up. Even if it's not the original fabric, it's still quite old. Handling such fragile artifacts with your bare hands can speed up deterioration!

[@sheadatear]

@AnOverdoseofZac It's a dulcimer! Her name roughly translates to 'the player of the dulcimer' (or 'the dulcimer player').
