I just found your channel and it was most likely the fastest Subscribe to a channel. I remembering seeing my first ever player piano was in a museum. It didn't work (Run), but still. But the most crazy player organ I saw was a pipe organ at the Roaring 20s in Florida. It was huge and loud and had a hold bunch of other instruments that would play alone with the organ. And as a kid it felt more magical then Disney. Sad that it closed, but at lest (As I have read) the organ was moved to California. Player Pianos will always be magical to me.

Thanks for being here! Most of us got bit by the bug early on.

I would love to see the organ pipes next

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

Noted! Will do.

The thing you didn't remember the name for that goes inside of the pipe is called a stopper. If you want the tiny little cymbal to have a bit more "humph" to it, try unscrewing the screw that goes through the center of the cymbal so it can wiggle just a little bit more. This will let it ring just enough to make a nice balance between the other instruments and still have it be audible! I thought the name "doinger" fit the cymbal striker perfectly 😂

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to try that. Part of the cymbal sound issue is definitely my lack of editing skills at play.

[@masklavier]

@@nateoutsidethevacuum Probably not your editing skills, your videos are edited quite well actually!

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

That's kind of you! I'm still getting the hang of it though.

[@danielmkubacki]

Microwaving wood, never expected to see that nor for it to work.

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

The microwave is great for smaller glue joints.

[@anthonygiglio9860]

Great Video How Many Style 15 s Still Exist? I Have Played A Style 35 With Pipes And Reed Organ It Was In The Late Joesph Lavachia Collection 😊

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

That's a lucky opportunity you had. I only know of one complete Style 15.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Does that style 35 still exist?

[@anthonygiglio9860]

The last Time I Saw It Was 2018

[@greggilbert78]

I'm going to pipe up and say pipes next

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

They'll be the principal focus of the next video!

[@dcallan812]

If a job is worth doing, its worth doing it twice. 🤣 Now stop banging on abut it and blow your own trumpet. 👍👍

[@nateoutsidethevacuum]

Well said!
