O Roll Test Orchestrion Plays 'Beer Barrel Polka'

I like this arrangement because of the clever finale which superimposes the trills from "Stars and Stripes Forever" over the chorus. Even though the bells and the xylophone are playing the exact same notes, the bells accentuate the single perforation trills while the reiterating xylophone brings out the sustained melody notes. If you listen carefully you'll also hear "The Pennsylvania Polka" played as a counter melody right before the big finale.

As kids in the 60s, my friend and would drive all over California to see orchestrions. To hear one play themes for silent comedies is the best! Thank you so much for this video!!!!

Listen very carefully at 1:00 and you'll hear the Pennsylvania Polka in the piano accompaniment.

It went right by me until around the 10th time I enjoyed it. That is cleverest arrangement I think I've ever heard. Art Reblitz easily doubles the fun. What a genius and what a wonderful orchestrion! Lots of Seeburgs and Wurlitzers performing out there but this rebuild sounds the greatest to me. I'm no expert, just a huge fan! Thanks Bruce ~ Its a terrific restoration. Now I'm going back to hear the orchestrion play the Pennsylvania Polka.

Finishing with a Stars and Stripes forever hybrid, fantastic!

Awesome ! I love orchestrions and carousel organs. This was a particularly interesting arrangement, with that melody from Stars and Stripes Forever woven in as a harmony.

Very cool. The conspicuous use of PVC really makes this instrument! :]

Great accompanying instruments! My orchestrion "O" only has a wood block, triangle, tambourine and snare drum! Always wanted a xylophone too!
