I just wanted to compliment you on a great sounding player piano. Some I've heard here on KZbin have a plunky tubby sound about them. Not this one 😂!!!

[@minimalizman]

Thank you very much! Getting a player piano and getting it into the condition that it is in now has been a lifelong dream of mine and I'm glad to know that someone out there appreciates it!

[@PiotrBarcz]

Fully rebuilt, twice! xD New strings do the trick!

[@PiotrBarcz]

OH GOD HELP, I HAVE THIS ROLL xD I need to get rid of it, I hate it with a passion xD

[@minimalizman]

LOL - Why?! It's great!

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@minimalizman I can't do mandolin waltzes, they kill me inside

[@minimalizman]

@PiotrBarcz That "effect" is definitely "over-used," but I suppose folks must have liked that in the past...I don't know, but wouldn't those ding up the strings, making tuning very quickly impossible? I've never actually seen a Mandolin rail...but I know it's metal (metal...like the strings).... 🤔

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@minimalizman Mandolin rails are a different thing, the mandolin effect in rolls imitates quite literally a mandolin player who is using a pick to repeat single notes or chords very fast (quite annoying I'll be honest) but another term is the marimba effect. Mandolin rails can be used but they shouldn't be used constantly as they can and will wear out the strings prematurely if you're banging away with it on. They make for a cool effect though. Wing & Son made a piano with a Mandolin rail and also a zither buzz mechanism which is also quite interesting.

I have this on an electra roll. Its a great piece but the roll wont track right and the paper wants to fall apart.

[@minimalizman]

What is different about an Electra roll?

[@That_One_Player_Piano]

@@minimalizman Poor quality. Do you have any?

[@minimalizman]

@@That_One_Player_Piano not that I've discovered yet.
