I LOVE ragtime on an old piano. Goes really well with silent movie clips. I have many silent films on my channel if you are interested. Many thanks for sharing! Liked and SUBSCRIBED!

Someone tune that piano PLEASE!

[@omar_rasidagic]

Since I recorded this back in September or October, this piano has become almost completely unplayable- the tuning has becoming slightly more off pitch, and there are depressed keys scattered around on the keyboard like a minefield! While I can’t play it manually like I do here, at least the player piano system still (somewhat) works. Those depressed keys pop back up when the bellows are activated. Thanks for the view!
