  • Good EH vIeWers! this player piano is powered by pumping the foot
    pedals which makes the bellows pull a vacuum and makes all of the mechanical parts work.
    if you like to see a video of this player piano with its mechanism while its
    working then like the video and please comment below! :)

    I searched this out because the arcade game Make Trax has music from Twelfth Street Rag. It's actually the ending on the orchestral version that the game plays when you die. I find this player piano fascinating because I do music production with MIDI files, and the player piano was a way to play an instrument automatically before the days of MIDI sequencing. I have seen later player pianos that have electric motors so you don't have to pedal them.

    That piano is actually on pitch. I like the honky-tonk sound.

    I agree that the piano does need a tuning but it plays pretty well, albeit a few notes are dead, it's good candidate for restoration though!

      I'd say mend the player mech (if that's causing some notes not to play) but keep the tuning as it is since I enjoy the "saloon" sound this has.

    i think that the player piano would benefit from a tuning and some maintenance to the internal player mechanism as some notes aren't being played

    a little out of tune, but finally someone is playing this roll at the correct tempo, ( A few other YT vids, of player pianos, are playing it 25% faster, or more) any idea who the player action maker is? I'm gonna guess a approx 1915-1918 Otto Higel Metanola player action in this piano... or the conventional 3 tier wood player action/stack , also made by Otto Higel Toronto,

    In a certain city, where the girls are cute and pretty they
    have a raggy jazzy jazz time tune,
    When you hear that syncopated jazz created melody
    you could dance all morning night and noon,
    When the slide trombone and moaning saxophone begin to play
    it will make you sad 'twill make you glad.
    Oh! Boy! What Joy!
    Burn my clothes for I'm in Heaven wish I had a million women,
    Soloman in all his glory could have told another story
    were he but living here today,
    With his thousand wives or more a jazz band on some Egypt shore
    he could dance the night and day away,
    I will tell you how they dance that tantalizing 12th. Street Rag.
    First you slide and then you glide, then shimmie for a while,
    To the left then to the right, "Lame Duck" "Get over Sal",
    Watch your step then pirouette, Fox Trot, then squeeze your pal,
    Over you comes,
    Stealing such a funny feeling,
    'Til you feel your senses reeling,
    Tantalizing, hypnotizing, mesmerizing strain,
    I can't get enough of it please play it o'er again
    I could dance for ever to this refrain,
    To that 12th. Street, Oh you 12th. Street Rag.
