hardtail Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 There are instruments there I don't even recognize, singer looks like Pink, great incentive to not make a mistake with a man hanging by a noose over your heads 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Minded Farmer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Just when I think there isn't anything better.... I found THIS!!! ↓↓↓↓ It is seldom that you can find an orchestrion that can play with that much clarity. What a great time we live in to have such automation. Then again.... What kind of time do we live in, that a spell checker doesn't have "orchestrion" in it's memory banks? I would think we had become more civilized than that. Tsk, Tsk.

Instead of using a sheet roll or pin roll to make it play, MIDI files are used. It's a really neat setup. You can use most any instrument as well. They do not keep an exact rhythm, due to a slight delay in the pneumatic drivers at times. Also, most are programmed to play in a Ragtime style, as these were really big around a century ago. I'll leave you with a few vids. The guy who builds these has a pile of them on his page, if you have a minute to look. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Minded Farmer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 And speaking of Ragtime.... Enjoy! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldenny Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The house on the rock in central Wisconsin has a bunch of the automated instruments. Most are now non functional but in the day they were air powered and did work. I like this guy's videos. Lots of holes to punch... https://youtu.be/fnb7EqfykF4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I am mellowing in my old age Mike. Kurt is the age that he could be my son and you could be his Grandpa😲so its understandable we may not share the same taste in cymbals bashing but did you give Amanda Marshall a chance👍 much to your surprise I like Bruce Cockburn. seen him a few times in the 90s - he is an excellent song writer and performer. Don't know what he is up to anymore . He never tours. One for you and one for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
