Are all six of the banjo strings being used, please.? I could see four "pluckers" - but it might have been just me. Very clever mechanism for making it play. I love the lovely modulations in the first piece it played!
Probably close to 2 million, if you get an old one but the new ones I think cost half a million dollars, but just keep in mind if you get one of those instruments, put it in a place where there is a lot of space and the plug-in outlet available
Really what it is is just a magical musical mechanical masterpiece inside of a wooden box, and it's powered by compressed air and the paper has holes in it which are punched out and that tells the instrument what to play
Shouldn't be too bad. It's basically an analog form of midi music created on punched paper. It's certainly nowhere near the all time greats in tedium. RAM memory used to be made by sowing iron cores into a mesh of intersecting copper wires, a single bit at a time, by little old ladies (yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds). Then the sheets of core memory were arranged in layers to form big bricks of memory (core memory modules). These modules could be hundreds of kilobyte large (better part of a million iron cores, each placed by hand, one at a time, with 3 tiny wires crammed through them under a loupe). For the apollo guidance computer they took it further and used read only memory in the form of iron cores; effectively sowing the programme in machine code, a single bit at a time (they called it rope memory). Because it static they could have many wires through or outside each iron core, creating a complicated web of wires that is the stuff of nightmares, which they then potted into a case with epoxy. This is an application were one misplaced wire could have resulted in failure of the mission (costing billions) and the death of the astronauts, all while ~600 million people watch live on television. Then of course you have early microprocessors like the intel 8008. The layout for the processor was made by hand; there were no tools. You had to make several masks that would be overlayed to make the various metal layers, and parts of the transistor. They were made using small strips of plastic, by hand; then they were projected down and miniaturized to create the final masks. If something was wrong, it took you some months to find out and it was no easy way to figure out where the error might be; when you think you've fixed it, it will take you another couple of months to find out if you actually did fix it.
How could 4 people dislike this??? How could ANYBODY dislike this???
They don't like the instrument, that's how.

Hardcore atheists
The only reasonable explanation would be an accidental click after trying to hit the like button
As far as I can see nobody dislikes it.
That is so funny to watch. Absolute fine piece of engineering! Thanks for sharing.
This is the work of a genius! Fantastic job!
I love your craftsmanship and attention to detail down to the bird's-eye maple backing behind the banjo
This is the coolest thing I have ever saw in my life! Watching all the moving parts making music is making me feel emotional.
I would love to have one of these
Thanks for sharing this!
Hey bro! I see you everywhere hah
LOVELY! HOPE THAT YOU GET MANY ORDERS. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Very interesting arrangement. Each instrument does not overpower the other. Nice sounding machine:-)
i feel like the banjo is a touch too loud
Sounds great! I'm really glad somebody is still making these great mechanical instruments.
Thanks for the great memories. My Mom loved nickelodeans and as a kid I listened to many at museums and amusement parks. Nothing quite like the sound.
Just fantastic!
This is the coolest, I love how it sounds!
Me too.
Awesome instrument and arrangement! If I ever have a spare 80 grand lying around I know what I'm buying!
This is one of my favorite orchestrions
The difference between an onion and a banjo is that no one cries when you chop up a banjo.
Bah.... as we express it overhere.
Amazing arrangement of a fantastic music! Loving it! Thanks!
Never see something like this. Wow
Neat little orchestrion. Fun to watch and listen to.
How kool is that!
Fabulous!
awesome!!
i love this machine 🙃🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

lov it !!!
Wow.....
Cool
anybody else get strong animusic vibes with this?
Вот это люди заморачиваются! )))
Лень - двигатель прогресса! )))
😎😎😎😎😊😊😊😊👍🏻
I love this machine. If you added some small billows of steam that would be the cream! Wow, man, just wow.
Steampunk musical robot!
is the delay between banjo and piano parts intentional or is due to lack of vacuum power?
It could simply be a mistake while creating the paper roll
How much dose one of these cost? Amazing!!😀

hammer suka goyang musik di atas senar...
There is something special about paper roll mechanical music machine that their midi powered equivalents seems to lack, but I don't know what it is.
Somehow they managed to find a way to play Scruggs style on a four string banjo.
Now they would only make a music roll with foggy mountain breakdown LOL
what rolls does it play? G, O, what?
y'all ever considered O Suzanna?
Where is this Instrument?
Anyone know?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊👍👍👍🇲🇽
wow, how the hell do they build those! that has to be computer generated and computer run, it doesn't sound like it has any mechanics in it lol.

@@hunterleach5710 Knew it, a hole card reader and a mechanical computer.
Must be a huge pain to make the rolls...

I believe someone else has built a digital version of this powered by midi.
But this is better!
The 4 people who do not like this they probably like that Rap garbage
