You have'nt spared time, money or effort on this hobby. Really appreciate your sharing this valuable collection and the performance of this piano (all kept in mint condition) with the rest of us. And who better than the classy Frank Milne putting his unique touch to these lovely old songs!
@DuoArtDanOz Glad you enjoy them. Thanks. Notice there are brass knobs on both ends of the tracker. All my pianos have some form of adjusters so I can easily center those pesky rolls that are too wide , or shrunk so the perfs don't line up end to end. We all have rolls that were punched off center.
Just wonderful! While I confess a preference for 1930s music, it does seem like the Duo Art technicians really got the expression and nuances of a hand-played sound down pat with the 30s releases.
Thank you. This is music. You can sing along or dance to it or just sit and let the artistry carry you away. Many many thanks and also for the 7 tries!
I really love your player! , thanks for sharing so much with us.Im curious on your tracker bar , what the knob is , just to the left of the tracker ear?
PianolaDanOz It’s called the thingamajig which regulates the internal oscillator which in turn controls the whatchamacallit just to the left. When activated it provides a smooth transition between the keys of C and G minor. It’s not often used, kind of like the Sostenuto pedal on a Steinway Grand. Thanks for asking, my friend; have a great day! 🐤
thank you for this video, magnificent interpretation of frank Milne and superb duoart
A wonderful piece of American history! Thank you for restoring and sharing! Why was I born a hundred years too late?
Just great always great to hear
Piano stylings like this are a lost art. Wonderful! Thank-you!!!
This piano has a MARVELOUS sound!
Enjoyed this more than you could know. Thank you!
Thanx, for your most kind comment. Yes, Milne was great on all
three reproducing piano rolls! I try to imitate his style when pumping
his QRS rolls.

Delightful! (I enjoy seeing your piano rolls on display, too!!!)
Kudos for your piano tuner! He did a great job! :)

Love it!
Most welcome! I love all music from back then also! Only problem is, that it would be a hundred years too soon to put them in cyber-space!
I can play this on my piano but it sure doesn't sound like this.
superb playing
Love this one.Thanx
Most welcome! Enjoy!
There is a second video of this roll on a Stroud Duo-Art that has a lovely soft tone, MechanicMusic45 has the video.
Great!! Thanks
Marvellous! Thanks

They say this was the low end of the Duo-Arts but this piano sounds better than a damn Steinway!
@kirksjunque Thanx for the comment. From the mid
1930's to 1941, it was all Frank Milne, both Duo-art
and Ampico.
