Cylinder Orchestrion

[frayleaf]

Dude, this reminds me of a record i found at the goodwill, of recordings of these machines playing. The cover talks about how it's meant to preserve their sounds for future generations since their numbers are dwindling. This record was from the 70s i think? This gave me the same vibe. Thanks for preserving another piece of their history.

Imagin how rediculouly long it took to pin that barrel.

[glentyan]

Oh my goodness, what a brilliant and entertaining system. Sheer brilliance and genius in the making. A link taken out that drive chain would improve the sound I'm sure .

For years I've been trying to identify that piece, maybe this is the chance - beautiful

[dfirth]

All gears had to be cleaned and oiled. Wiring replaced, etc. Great job!

There is another instrument exactly like this one in the Deutsches Automatenmuseum. Their instrument was built by Josef Stern and is apparently called "Astra"

[Godschild]

WOW!
The only thing modern about this, is the way i'm watching it. Today SUCKS!
Long live the coolness of the past🤗

[stronzer]

why do I have visions of a wheelchair speeding down a ski slope flying off the end of it into utter terror?

[bertjesklotepino]

imagine you want to collect songs for this device.
You gonna need a warehouse to store all those drums in.

[tjjenkin]

How much would something like this have cost?

[arburo]

Good restoration and sound, but why did you reverse the video at 1.16?

[watchmakerful]

Is it purely electro-mechanical, without any pneumatics?

[BillMasters]

It must be a real chore to change drums

[adamchurvis]

Who else's mind immediately went to the Monty Python's Flying Circus episode "The Cycling Tour"?
