Thank you for watching!

It makes me happy when the sound of the piano brings you as many beautiful moments as it does me. Thank you for your visit.

Do you happen to know the words?

⁠@@RollaArtisprobably, but not many. I really like to listen to like Beethoven, Mozart and so on.

@@STEMVAST Thank you for visiting and subscribing, Rob! Many greetings Steffen

Yes, the rolls of the US is very fragile. They play well, but often break when rewinding. That's why I always roll them back by hand to protect them. Which of Hofmann's Rolls do you miss? I may have some of these in my collection. Mr Dyer could then make copies.

@@sirsamfay99 Unfortunately, I don't have any of the roles listed. A music roll dealer from Munich doesn't have it on his list either. Have you ever asked Mr. Dyer? He also has many digitized rolls that he can then punch.

@@Duo-Art Thanks for looking. I was under the impression I had to provide the digital file myself to forward to Mr Dyer which I would not know how to acquire them. I will contact him though for advice.

This fast piece is definitely only for experienced pianists. Luckily I have the pianola...😅

@@Duo-Art Yes it is. Also I find the piano sheet of this sing too. The tittle is called "Ronado a Capriccio in G Major". I think Lang Lang the Chinese Pianist can play this piece too.

why?

Thank you for watching!

Dankeschön für das Anhören. 😊

Yes, you are right! 😅

Hello, the playback of the music with all dynamic details was recorded on the paper rolls like a punch card. Further information about the Duo Art System can be found in the following link. Well-known pianists who made recordings included Rudolf Ganz, George Gershwin, Ignacy Jan Paderewski and many other pianists of the time. www.pianola.org/reproducing/reproducing_duo-art.cfm

A beautiful piece. What kind of instrument do you have? A grand piano or a piano?

@@Duo-Art 1920 Weber triple bellow electric only upright.

So almost the same instrument as mine. However, mine has a 1927 turbine to generate air.

Дуже красивий музичний твір.

Hello Marc, I'll be uploading duo art shots again soon.

Hello, The fact that the rolls slow down is strangely a problem with the German Hupfeld Rolls. I do not know why. I actually didn't notice that with the other roles. Do you think it's the Governor?

More effort means means more suction, so if the governor spring is too light, it will want to close, limiting the suction available to the motor. So if you know how to adjust the governor spring make it a tight stronger. Also may have to readjust the tempo when it's done.

It is a fast piece of music played by the fastest pianist in the world.

Unfortunately I don't have the option to create midi files.

Thank you for watching!

That pleases me! :)

Thank you very much! With this music roll you can hear the expression very well. I would love if the video motivates you to finish your Duo-Art. The work is definitely worth it!

Sì, recentemente sono state effettuate riparazioni estese. Grazie per la tua visita!👋🏼😊

Thanks for the nice comment. It really is a beautiful musical roll. The pianola has undergone a major overhaul. I try to keep it in good condition. The recordings were only taken in a very amateur manner with a cell phone. After the pianola repair, there was no money left for better equipment.☺️ Thank you again for your visit!

Very nicely described. These old music rolls are always like a little journey through time. Thank you!

Ja, das finde ich auch. Was ein Staubsauger im Klavier alles bewirken kann. ☺️ Vielen Dank für Deinen Besuch lieber Torben!

Thanks for listening. The sound of course depends on the condition of the instrument. Unfortunately, there are only a few craftsmen left who can repair a pianola well.

​@@Duo-ArtI definitely think this is the best sounding antique piano I've heard! Seems to be good tune..love it.

I'm happy to welcome anyone who is also interested in this ancient technology. Thank you for your compliment.

@@Duo-ArtI'd like to share with you a connection our family has with this era, my Great uncle was born in 1894. And he played the Piano in many theaters for Silent Movies..He eventually wound up as school music teacher. Served in WW1 Along with his brother, my grandfather who was born in 1889. Uncle Conrad was a truly great guy, funny, and a gentleman. Even in his mid 90s, he would play the piano for us from memory, many songs, and of course some RAGTIME!!! He ripped them off amazingly well, and everyone enjoyed his performances! He passed away in May of 94, 4 months after his 100th birthday, He had not been ill, simply told his family he wasn't feeling too well and was going to take a nap. He never woke up. We asked the Executer of his estate if we could have his piano, and we were given it. I remember he told me he bought it in 1924 when he turned 30. . Its a very nice, slightly ornate SCHILLER upright . All the keys work, it still in fairly decent tune, and not a single chip on the keys! Be well!

@@johnfranklin5277 In my lifetime, I've been Blessed to have known two people who played piano for silent movies. Their technique is somehow different from other piano artists.

Hello, unfortunately not. I have the pianola because I can't play the piano well myself. 😬That's why I can't transfer the music notes. Maybe you can't find the sheet music online?

Thank you for listening. I wish you the same!

Absolutely agree. Ragtime is not supposed to played that fast. One musician who got it right was Ethel Smith. Her rendition of Maple Leaf Rag on the Hammond organ is perfection.

Hello, thanks for listening. The piece of music was played at the specified speed. This probably corresponds to the contemporary taste of the 20s and 30s.

I concur....too fast😢

@@Duo-Art Putting a link to another video that plays it too fast is not proof that it should be played that fast.

It is a timeless piece of music. I'm glad you like it too! Thank you for watching.

The Christmas tree lights are very old. We also like it because it gives off a nice warm light. Thank you for watching!

I've also had the other two roles of the Concert since Christmas. I think I'll record those next. You have very interesting background knowledge. That's very exciting. Thanks for that!

You're right. I stuck to the posted pace of 90. But a little slower would probably sound even better.

Vielen Dank! Ich übe noch. Bei den Hupfeld-Rollen ist ja schön aufgezeichnet was zu tun ist. Bei den QRS Rollen ist es schon wesentlich schwerer. Vor allem wenn man das Stück vorher nicht kennt. Ich habe mich sehr über diesen Kommentar gefreut, da ich von Ihrem Kanal weiß, wie gut Sie Phonola spielen.

I think of Mel Brooks but independent of Young Frankenstein. I have posters of him on my bedroom Walls in a bikini.🎉

Can’t hear that song any more without thinking of Young Frankenstein

Thank you for the compliment! I am very happy when others also enjoy the pianola.
