Photoplayer Unusual Instrument Used In Silent Films
/ deanscottpresentsdsp - Facebook Page
The central instruments in a photoplayer were a piano and percussion; some machines also added pipe organs and methods for manually creating sound effects. Like a player piano, the photoplayer played music automatically by reading piano rolls (rolls of paper with perforations), but the photoplayer could hold two rolls: one that would play while the other was prepared. Common sound effects included gun-shots, bells and drums, which were generated by pulling chains called "cow-tails". Some photoplayers feature electric sound effects, such as sirens, automobile horns, and other oddities. A photoplayer operator had to load the paper rolls, start the machine and add the manual sound effects and percussion using the cow-tails.

I'm utterly flabbergasted. It's like Joe is conjuring musical magic from an antique contraption. With a mischievous grin and fingers that dance like caffeinated squirrels on the keys, he transforms this giant piano with weird cords into a cacophony of hilarity. The way he mashes buttons and stomps pedals, you'd think he's part maestro, part mad scientist. It's a sideshow of sound, and I'm convinced Joe is the ringleader of this whimsical symphonic circus. It's a laugh riot, and I can't help but be astounded by his zany, toe-tapping performance.

That's amazingly great! I wasn't familiar with the term "photoplayer", and had never seen such an elaborate single-person setup for creating sound for theater / film. It seems along the lines of a stationary 'logical conclusion' version of the "one-man band" concept I've seen referenced and depicted in various forms, but fairly infrequently in recent decades. Love it - also has that "Rube Goldberg device" essence that makes it quite entertaining to watch in action in its own right. Feels like the only thing missing is an "Engineer's Cap" on the wizard operating the confounded contraption! 😄
