There's a Sousa March in there too, toward the end.

Wow, it comes after the PP. There is so much going on you really have to wait for it. That's Wild! :) By the way when I heard Bruce's orchestrion play BBP on U-tube I knew he was the guy for me. I got the bug when I was 11 yrs old as I heard & watched one play at Whitney's at-the-beach next to the Cliff House in San Francisco. I was so lucky to find Bruce. Bruce completely rebuilt and enhanced my old Operators partial Reproduco. He built the entire good-looking chests and pneumatics for the pipes, bells, xylo, traps and every instrument that could go into an orchestrion including colorful LEDs that follow the instrumentation. Bruce designed a neat looking fascinating selection device to actuate in time the many different accompanying instruments (equiv to two orchestrions) and all have their chance to solo along with the piano & traps. The selector allows the instruments to change & take their turn as the roll turns them on and off. It's the cleverest device I've ever seen & heard. :) :) :) :) :) 😃 My life long dream to enjoy a real pneumatic orchestrion at home became a reality. It's fun to see people's eyes get wide & smile when they hear & see a hundred year old orchestrion play from a paper roll.

Roll out the barrel.

@Sam Morex Probably playing another copy of this same exact "O" roll.

Thanks Bruce! I missed it after a dozen plays. What an arrangement! That is so beautifully orchestrated. Now I can't miss it Bruce. thanks. What a beautiful restoration. Ear Candy! Thanks Bruce. :)

Yup suction logic and switching just like in most vintage orchestrions.

Turned me into a candy man 🍬👨

Anders Schilling Niltava29@gmail.com Please write. I will give you name and address for sound track.

"Rosamunde" was the original title, or the original popular European title of this tune, it was later renamed "Beer Barrel Polka" in the USA.

There are 66 piano notes that play from holes 20-85 on the tracker bar. The rest of the holes in the tracker bar control other functions. This may be helpful: www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/200111/2001.11.24.07.html

If you hadn’t said piano was out of tune I wouldn’t have known it .You must be a pianist who has played the best instruments .I never played any instrument .

I think the detuned piano makes it better

This is a Czech song called Škoda Lasky, composed in Prague around 1940. Unrequited Love is a translation of the title. It's commonly known there as the Modřany because that's the neighborhood there it was written.

It’s playing the trio from The Stars and Stripes Forever - a very well known march by John Phillip Sousa.

@@DuoArtOrgan oh thanks

Hi Andrew. Art Reblitz arranged this tune. He incorporated themes from the Pennsyvania Polka, Under the Double Eagle and Stars and Stripes Forever

Hi Andrew and Bruce, I arranged this for A, G , and O rolls for Durrell Armstrong in March 1972. The O-roll version was the 22nd roll that I arranged on my drawing board, long before MIDI. Dave Junchen and I each supplied arrangements for the new 10-tune rolls and we had a long list of rolls to arrange. Then Durrell had a falling out with a partner and the project never went forward.

@@history2tube Did you by any chance arrange this piece for the Seaburg Coinola at House on the Rock as well? It sounds the same as what was heard there on that machine!

Hi there, it's not really a medley but an arrangement of one tune - The Beer Barrel Polka (sometimes called Roll Out the Barrel). The arranger has cleverly worked in several other tunes to ornament the main song. Listen for the following: The Pennsylvania Polka, Under the Double Eagle March, and Stars and Stripes Forever.

@@DuoArtOrgan This "O" roll arrangement is identical to the one played by the Seaburg Coinola at House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI (which was made from a Duo Art). Just listen to this recording of it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMmKYMqq1q_DY4U.html

+lazzer408 Hi there. I just used my iphone camera - nothing special!

+DuoArtOrgan ok. was wondering because it has some weird haze/jitter. Nice machine btw.

Stay young

There is a book you can buy called "The Orchestrion Builder's Manual and Pneumatics Handbook" by Craig Brougher. Some of the designs seen in this instrument come from that book. First, you should rebuild at least one foot pumped player piano, and preferably several, as you need to understand how a preexisting instrument works before you go and modify it and build new instruments to add to it. For that I recommend two Art Reblitz books: "Piano Servicing, Tuning and Rebuilding" (now in its third edition), and "Player Piano Servicing and Rebuilding" (Only one edition but excellent). Also, you'll need to apprentice to a piano tech in your area, or else learn via an on-line course such as one offered on Facebook etc. There are also groups like "Piano Technicians International Beginners" that offer tips etc. for beginners and amateurs working on pianos.
