These are exciting to watch live!
The last one I've seen about 12 years ago was in Scotland in Edinburgh's Toy museum.
I've heard that they had to give it away because they couldn't afford servicing it anymore
But there's still quite a number of them working, mostly in museums.
I'm fascinated by player pianos and orchestrions. It is incredible to me the lengths that people would go to to not have to learn to play an instrument.
There's a museum in San Francisco called Musée Mécanique that has a collection of these and they are just brilliant to behold. I have 3 CDs of music recorded from the orchestrion collection as well. Brilliant stuff
This video the next time someone talks about file management 🤣 that thing is awesome
Player pianos were just the Spotify of their day
LOL just being dumb
No worries
A few years ago, Pat Metheny did a fun upgrade to the instruments in his instrument lounge.
Electromagnetic (and a few pneumatic) actuators mounted to acoustic instruments, controlled by MIDI.
See & listen:
Doing this at home is highly recommended!
Imagine playing all that from Xequence
Here's another one from the large-scale player piano:
The Orchestrion tour was enjoyable, and I was glad to see part of it return on tour with Pat Metheny Unity Band.
Its nuts what he used to compose the music (Disklavier, Digital Performer) and play it live (Ableton Live, full crew of roadies including Eric Singer himself): https://www.soundonsound.com/people/pat-methenys-orchestrion

And here I thought I was slick putting a toy insect robot on a tambourine to get some random rhythms.
