It's amazing how a sound like this instantly takes you back to the early 1900s. It must have been so cool seeing these kinds of technologies for the first time, really changing the face of the modern world,.
@@princesshannahbanana2090 Built in player pianos mostly weren't even a thing in the USA in 1886, despite what some Western movies might have you believe, and the earliest ones were all-mechanical, and not pneumatic like most surviving roll-operated player pianos. The first commercially-marketed built-in roll-operated player pianos I know about in the USA were marketed by the rival Automaton Piano Co. of New York and the Adek Piano Co. also of NY (I *think*). The former firm (Automaton) apparently either made new player systems using rolls on the Ludwig Hupfeld Co. (of Germany) patents and roll scales OR imported entire player mechanisms from Germany to install into US-made pianos (we're not sure which). The latter company (Adek) apparently made new mechanisms themselves of a very similar design, but with incompatible rolls (which were mostly arranged by their own staff under direction of William Hartman), which were marketed (the player systems and rolls) under the "Pianotist" and "Nicklin' " brand names. These really early systems were marketed from sometime in the late 1880s (1888?) until about 1905 or so, when they were generally considered obsolete in those days, and I think one or both companies went out of business at that time. These systems are almost never seen outside of museums, and are more prevalent in Europe (the Hupfeld system MADE by Hupfeld, installed chiefly in Stransky Freres brand pianos, but maybe some others), than in the USA. The American ones were installed mainly in Blasius pianos (by the Automaton Co.) or Hunter brand pianos (by Adek), BUT other makes of piano were also used, since this system could also be custom-installed by their factory as a retrofit into any upright of then-recent vintage. So a handful have been seen in (for example) Steinway, Mehlin, Hallet & Davis, and some other USA makes of upright piano. It seems unlikely these companies had any direct licensing arrangement with the three listed prestigious firms; most likely, the original owners of those pianos had them sent directly to the Automaton and/or Adek factories to have the player system retrofitted, either shortly after purchase (brand new piano) or a few years after purchase (slightly used piano). However, when the companies went out of business, and new music was no longer available on these rolls, nor parts & service, quite a lot of these systems were sadly removed from their pianos and discarded, over the past 100 years. This is particularly so in the USA (more of the European-sold ones in European pianos seem to have survived, maybe two or three dozen). Of the USA-made pianos still with these systems, I have only been able to document about 5 or 6 survivors today, of which I own one (an Automaton system installed in a Blasius piano). These systems are neat because they use a spinning "power roller" which is about 4' long and cast iron covered with a layer of cloth. The roller is spun at a fairly high speed by a couple of bevel gears when power is applied to the system (either hand-cranking, or an external power source such as a Stirling engine, water motor, or electric motor), and the power train also drives the take-up spool for the music roll. The roll in these early systems is heavy manila/cardboard, and is pulled thru a mechanical keyframe very much like that found on slightly-later fairground organs. The entire roll mech is located in a drawer underneath the piano keyboard, which pulls out on slides/tracks to change the roll. Rather than operating tiny pneumatic valves like in the more familiar fairground organs (Gavioli etc), the keyframe keys are mechanically linked (via round-steel links running in felt bushings, exactly like an octave coupler in a reed organ), to wooden 'anchor shoes' for each note, which are articulated wooden levers poised above the power roller, the lower part of which is shaped like an anchor and covered in felt. When a hole comes up in the roll, the key popping thru the hole triggers the anchor shoe to drop onto the roller, where it is kicked out with some force, which, via additional linkage, pushes up a pushrod in the back which plays the back of the piano key. Thus this uses an all-mechanical system of power amplification to play the piano. This entire player mechanism is built into the lower front panel of the piano (aka the knee board or knee panel, above the piano pedals but below the piano keyboard), and comes out all in one piece. It is fairly heavy (I think mine weighs over 200 lbs, although I haven't put it on a scale), and I can understand why many were discarded, but it is a really neat piece of engineering and utterly fascinating to watch in action. The player piano shown in the video above uses a regular suction pneumatic system. This system was used for player reed organs in first a crude 'paper as a valve' system in the 1870s-1880s, and then by the 1880s they had refined it to use an intermediate pouch (leather disc) and valve, to admit air to the reed, to make for a snappier action, and allow more notes to be crammed onto a smaller width roll (instead of the roll holes having to be enormous- around 1/2" wide - to admit air directly to the reeds as in the earlier type). These tabletop "organettes" using this system were very popular home entertainment devices in the 1880s-1890s. Their larger siblings, player reed organs, were the transitional instruments which connected the organette paper-roll technology with the later piano players and player pianos. The first commercially-marketed pneumatic paper roll player pianos and piano players I know about in the USA were the Angelus (introduced by Wilcox & White of Meriden, CT in 1895) and the Pianola (introduced by the Aeolian Co of Garwood, NJ in 1897). Both were very successful in their day, with the Aeolian eventually becoming one of the most successful player pianos of all time, with their "Pianola" trademark becoming generic slang for an automatic piano in many English-speaking countries outside the USA. Most early pneumatic players made in the USA 1895-1910 were of the external "push up piano player" aka "vorsetzer" variety. Relatively few built-in player pianos were made in the USA in this early period, and most of those used early thin paper roll types like various 58-note or 65-note scales (only really Melville Clark had a full 88-note piano roll scale before 1908, although those rolls are over 15" wide). These were a cabinet which could be rolled up to the keyboard of an ordinary piano and play it via the keyboard, using rolls. Since most middle class and upper class folks already had a piano they loved (on which they were making payments) at that time, this apparatus made more sense for early buyers. By about 1910-1912, furniture styles had changed enough, and many preexisting pianos were old enough, that it made sense for folks to trade in their older piano (and piano player) for a new built-in player piano. The big player piano boom really hit around 1919-1927 when the doughboys were coming back from WWI and wanted to buy home entertainment devices to liven up the place. During this period of prosperity, around 300,000 pianos per year were made and sold in the USA of all types combined by all makers combined. Around this time, about 2/3 of those were player pianos. This boom mostly ended around 1927 when amplified broadcast radio sets and amplified phonographs became a commercial reality. In terms of coin op player pianos, the first really commercially successful USA one was the Wurlitzer Tonophone, which used a 10-tune pinned wooden cylinder to actuate a suction pneumatic system (via a conventional keyframe) to play the piano. This instrument was introduced in 1899 and built thru maybe 1906 or so. It is thought that over 1,000 were built, with only a dozen or so known to survive today. Thin paper roll commercial instruments were experimented with in the 1890s / early 1900s, but the first truly commercially successful one was the Peerless D, introduced in 1902. This used a 5-tune endless paper roll located in a bin in the back of the piano. These pianos were also wildly successful and were made at least as late as 1908 if not slightly later (the company lasted until 1915, by then making more up-to-date models). Shortly after the Peerless D, there was kind of a stampede for other companies to introduce coin pianos, which they mostly did from 1904 to 1913 or so. By 1913, just about every USA coin piano roll type (save a few) had been introduced, and for the earlier ones, there was already a pretty good library of tunes available, although originals of all these rolls are rare today and real collectors' items. The coin piano business took a huge hit between WWI and Prohibition, with many companies going out of business in the mid to late 'teens. However, during early Prohibition, with the rise of speakeasies, ironically the market came roaring back for small cabinet type instruments, which were very much in fashion in the 20s, until jukeboxes and the Depression killed the market for them. This instrument in the video is an "Aeolian" (Memphis, TN) player piano, made probably in the 1970s or 80s. There was a big player piano revival which started in the late 1950s/early 1960s (the Modern Aeolian firm lasted 1960-1985, which nicely bookends the greatest period of the fad), and several newer companies sprung up to meet demand for new instruments, including this one. Some (like this one) even revived old brand names for new unrelated instruments. There is still a player piano revival today, just not as big as it was decades ago.

Considering doing the Pianomation mod on a 1967 Baldwin upright, reason being our congregation needs both the piano and the organ and my baby, a 1964 Hammond A-105, one of the last made before they replaced felt with adhesive that became acidic with age and destroyed the contacts and wiring under the keys, just can't keep up because the overhead speaker cabinets are installed backwards because the sound engineer who installed them in 1967 along with the original organ, a circa 1967 Baldwin 44 from the looks of it, decided to install them backwards and design a sound deflector for the choir when the monitor speaker was adequately loud for the choir, I would get them corrected but that would involve heavy machinery as these are the biggest speaker cabinets I've seen, bigger than Allen cabinets by a good margin, I'd scan the week's hymns into a midi program if they haven't already been and tweak the program to match our unique style, then it's just one button press and after the lead in the organ joins with the classic tone that's been passed down within the church since the installation of the Hammond in 1998 after the Baldwin up and died in a spectacular fashion during service, guy who bought it put all new capacitors in it and how that Baldwin is being used at our identical twin church that is a town over but was designed and built by the same people shortly after our church was built using the same blueprints and architectural drawings,
I imagine the piano could play without the keys moving, but I don't know for sure. Are the moving keys just for visual effects or is it necessary for the machine to function?
Some player pianos had the option. We had a 30's vintage Baldwin upright that did. Still have the piano and about 400 rolls. The rolls are still available.
This song was originally made by a person from New York before the Civil War. Idk why he romanticizes the South, but he was harped by Northerners for supposedly showing Southern sympathies in the song even though he was not a Southern sympathizer. When the Civil War came around the Confederate army adopted this song, but the North liked it and Abraham Lincoln made it federal property. What a slap in the face for the South😂.
