Tanzbar 28 note Concertina plays Blue Danube
This is a 1920s Tanzbar 28 note Concertina. I restored the lever actuated drive system, mostly because of gear alignment issues and a OEM lever fabrication error. The bellows are tight and the reeds sound nicely. In the video I am playing the Blue Danube.

Yes sir, that’s my baby. Played on a Tanzbar (Player Concertina)
Просмотров 32510 месяцев назад
This Tanzbar is an antique self playing concertina accordion from the early 1900s. It operates from a punched paper roll, similar to a piano roll, but much smaller. This is a 16 note Tanzbar, with 32 reeds. I spent the past several weeks cleaning and adjusting the mechanism and the reeds. It now sounds much better. Hope you enjoy it.

This was a challenging song to get to play on an antique Mills Violano Virtuoso. I started arranging it for the VV about 5 years ago and just now got it to something I like to hear - in 2022! On this video there is a great close up view of the metal stampings as they finger the strings in very rapid movement. Hope you enjoy it.

Medley of Christmas Songs played by a 100 year old Mills Violano Virtuoso
Просмотров 1773 года назад
Here is a wonderful medley of Christmas songs, played by the Mills Violano Virtuoso. I love how the music flows seamlessly from song to song. This was originally arranged as a “Christmas Music Mashup” for violin and piano by S. Li and posted to Musescore. I rearranged that version and re-mapped it to fit the instrumentation on a 100 year old mills Violano Virtuoso robot violin & piano machine. ...

Your Violano is playing about as good as possible. Really nice. Who did the restoration?
Roberts Musical Restorations. Robert Loeffler is excellent with these instruments.
That is the Awesomeness🎶🎶🎶🎶💙🧡
love this im watching arazona nice video yes sir
Glad you enjoyed it.
Can you print one with Baby Shark and Freeze dance on it?
Jack Benny and Les Dawson?
@2:17 it sounds like another violin (or viola) comes in. How was that done?
The violin and its bowing system on this machine are very creative. There is a separate bow for each string. The bows are controlled individually. So this violin can be thought of as four one string violins when arranging music for it. The “viola” you hear is probably one of the bass violin strings playing a countermelody or a harmony withe the treble strings. Its is really cool to arrange for this machine because of this feature.
@@happytiquechannelonyoutube9834 Thanks for explaining. I see why I thought it was more than one Violin.....It was playing simultaneous notes that would be impossible for a single player with one bow to play. Very interesting.
This machine is called "Violano Vituoso" built by the Mills Novelty Company in Chicago in the first quarter of the 20th century. It operates completely with electromagnets to play the piano and violin. Normally controlled by a perforated paper roll (similar to thd player piano).
An extraordinary contrivance. Not exactly restful to listen to (sounds like a cat-torturing device), but you have to admire the ingenuity. The only time I heard one playing live was at the late-lamented Mekanisk Musik Museum in Copenhagen a great many years ago.
Woooooow this is the creepiest music machine I ever heard I'll cry if Machines like this will take the place of real musicians
why is the violin so large
This really is a great arrangement ---- Love it!
Think of the work to build this contraption, and all the maintenance required over.the years.
Very nice having both instruments playing at once!

you must add this to a wurlitzer
This is fantastic! Thank you. #1 and subbed you.
Love this song! 😊
Wow this is great! 👍👌😊
Never saw an automatic banjo :) Nice :)
2nd tune is Somebody's Waiting For You 3rd song is Abraham Jefferson Washington Lee 5th tune is Love Me and the World is Mine
Actually it isn't out of tune - I have perfect pitch. Could do with a bit more rosin on the wheels. Not bad for over 100 years old. About the same age as Brian May (sorry Bri).
EE
Is this via midi or paper roll?
This is played by MIDI.
@@happytiquechannelonyoutube9834 Very nice. Have you composed other tunes for the Violano? Please contact me via the Contact Us link at UniversalMdiController.com
Yes it's violin from hell, but that robots vibrato is still better than mine.
LOVELY, JUST AMAZING, THANK YOU.
this machine should be kept in a haunted house
So this is a Mills Violano with a MIDI interface system.MIDI works by sending discrete signals to the instrument which trigger solenoids and motors, so songs have to be arranged for a specific MIDI machine. I can't find Bohemian Rhapsody in the Mills song library, so di someone compose this on their own?
Keith Thanks for the question. Yes, I arranged it. It took a couple of days and some custom software that I wrote.
Where is this located?
“Mr. Robot, please tune yourself . . . You’re a little flat.”
Instruments in the early 1900s were built for the “Concert Pitch” of that time, which was A 435. If you try to tune it to toady’s Concert Pitch of A 440, it can break the bedplate. Therefore, what might sound flat to the human ear today, is historically correct and will allow the instrument to play for years to come....
Je suis robot...voici ma timbre.
Try restringing the violin with German set of silver wound 'gut' strings, on A<D<G. The Mills Company didn't use steel strings on this machine when it was new. Ignore what the restoration book says about the "Super Sensitive" string brand. You will get a smoother tremolo and a lot less 'wow' on the G string.
Ah, the auto-instrument perfect for HORROR SONGS.
for assassinating characters lol
Pasadena PEOPLE
Violin or viola?? It sounds like a viola & the size of it looks to be a viola
violin
That's the creepiest violin sound I've ever heard, so I like this machine a lot.
lol
Kind of an advanced hurdy-gurdy with separate wheels for the strings.
This is so cool, thanks for making this!! Martin
this thing is amazing i wish i had one i myself play the violin to be onist i play the violin better
This machine is over a hundred years old. How well will you be doing at 100+ years old :-)
Nice!
Sounds fantastic. I have questions for you about how you did the did the WiFi MIDI setup. How can I go about contacting you?
This should be at house on the rock
1912 The first Mills electric pianola&violin
Awesome! What kind of material was used for the individual bows?
Cheers for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Master Violinist Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive product for playing violin like a master without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at very last got great results with it.
The bow wheels are made from multiple discs of celluloid, and should be treated with a rosin block before playing.
Wonderful!
Very fine!!! Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing instrument. Good work, and your time was well spent. Thanks
