It looks like the Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina but it's actually an extended version as it includes a Pipe Organ, a Reed Organ, and even Drums. Like the Violina you have a fully Playable 88 Note Piano and also an Automatic Violin Trio.
Here's the lyrics of the song Oh, How We Danced on the night we were wed We vowed our true love, tho' a word wasn't said The world was in bloom there were stars in the skies except for the few that were there in your eyes *Dear, as I held you so close in my arms Angels were singing a hymn to your charms Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low (please comment, share) "My darling, I love you so" The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime We'd find that our love is unaltered by time *Dear, as I held you so close in my arms Angels were singing a hymn to your charms Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low (please comment, share) "My darling, I love you so"
Das ist so toll ich bewundere die Leute, die sowas überhaupt bauen konnten und auch die Leute, die diese Rollen gemacht haben...es ist eine Kunst das überhaupt so hinzukriegen das alle Instrumente im richtigen Moment angesteuert werden
The 3 Violins are surrounded by an Aluminum Bow Wheel which spins to bow the strings like a Hurdy Gurdy Wheel. The Violins also have Mechanical Tangents that press the strings onto the Fingerboards to change their pitch.
Thank you derorgelfan for posting this excellent video of an excellent (and extremely rare) orchestrion. I believe this is the only original example of this instrument known to exist, although two replica instruments have also been made. Thank you so much for the rear views showing the extra instrumentation! It seems obvious that Hupfeld started with a regular Phonoliszt-Violina for the design and added all the other instruments in the case extension in back. Very clever!
@pianoman1984 It is indeed based upon the 9-per-inch 88-note piano roll... and maybe the Animatic scale too, I'm not sure. Supposedly, this instrument can play four different types of rolls, including regular 88-note home player piano rolls, its own special "Phonoliszt-Violina Orchestra" roll scale, and also special 9-holes-per-inch "Phonoliszt-Violina" rolls which are playable on this instrument only. The scale is in Art Reblitz's book "The Golden Age of Automatic Musical Instruments"
Some people would argue that this is the most realistic-sounding orchestrion ever made, and it certainly is the most realistic one I've ever heard! (although some Hupfeld Pan orchestrions come close).
There are two of these fabulous instruments in the world, This one and one in America, and one film of each of them on UA-cam; What a shame that in both films they are playing the same music!
I would like to hear more as well, although I *think* that Stefan Batist has posted more video of the US one on his UA-cam channel. I should add that this one in this video here is the only known _original_ Phonoliszt-Violina Orchestra in the world, and is a Model II. The Mechanisches Musikkabinett Museum (MMM) have also built two REPLICA Phonolist-Violina orchestras of which both are in the USA: one is a model II like this one, with a keyboard piano, and is not currently on UA-cam. The other is a re-imagining of a model I, with a keyboardless piano (to the best of my knowledge, no original is known to exist), and looks a bit different. To me, I think this would be one of the most worthwhile mechanical instruments to replicate: an orchestrion with REAL violins! However, it must be a nightmare to keep the piano AND pipes AND violins AND harmonium in tune with each other, and that's probably why only like two dozen were supposedly originally built. It's a great one to have in your living room if you don't mind tuning it yourself...
@sanderorgeldraaier Hey! I use a Canon FS100 and I have to say: I'm quite happy with it. The currently available succeeding model should be the Canon LEGRIA FS 306. As you can see in my videos "demo video E" and "demo video F", I could achieve better results after some video editing than with my old camcorder (demo video C + D); the "raw material" now is more fruitful...

Here's the lyrics of the song
Oh, How We Danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love, tho' a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom
there were stars in the skies
except for the few that were there in your eyes
*Dear, as I held you so close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating
were murmuring low (please comment, share)
"My darling, I love you so"
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time
*Dear, as I held you so close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating
were murmuring low (please comment, share)
"My darling, I love you so"

Waves of the Danube Waltz, that Classic Accordion piece.

1910: just a violin and a piano
1926: a whole orchestrion
Waves of the Danube Waltz! First-time ever heard it on an orchestrion.
The music piece is from Romania: "Valurile Dunarii" by Ion Iovanovici, if I remember well. Yes, Danube Waves.
@@christianschneider5511 Yeah - you're right. The waltz ain't an independent work but part of the larger work you've mentioned.
Frank Sinatra even wrote lyrics for it, it's called the anniversary waltz.
repetiert perfekt

Awesome! Love the old Victrolas, with the morning glory horns, in the background too.
It uses the Music Rolls that are special variations of the Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina Rolls
no it doesn't
@@nielsberkers They're a special music roll
