First, this is awesome! Second, is this the only video available for this beautiful piece of history? Third, provided you could get the rights, etc, Simply Red's Fairground would be apt. ;) Hard to believe that this would have been a fairground/carnival attraction in its own right a century ago. Show it to kids today and they probably wouldn't fully appreciate it. But then again, they might on here. You Sir, are an excellent custodian of this awesome piece of history.

I'd be the same. But then again, you would have to be extremely resourceful with that organ - not as if you could buy spare parts for it >.< I do admit to being stereotypical in the previous comment. I'm sure if I had a big enough sample size, I would more than likely be surprised at the results. I mean, the fact this video has nearly 4M views means something.

can you try inputing "Gold Saucer" from Final Fantasy VII on this thing?

or better yet...the Final fantasy prologue theme?

God I hope Despacito isn’t the Bohemian Rhapsody of our generation 😂😂😂

No it will be like someone playing Bohemian Rhapsody in 2060 lol. Despacito is dead now, it won't have remotely the same impact as Bohemian Rhapsody, isn't nearly as good, and it's a shame on youtube it has a few billion more views even though I'm pretty sure it's not as well known (then again, there's several different videos of Bohemian Rhapsody).

Old town road would be better

Chris Hamilton they weren’t likening despacito to bohemian rhapsody’s excellence. They were purely referencing the timeline, so they used a popular song that was created around this time. Obviously despacito isn’t as absolutely amazing as bohemian rhapsody

This was uploaded in 2014 so its 39 years

@@AdmiralFroggy IT's basically a midi file on a punchcard.

@@rimmersbryggeri I assume that's all manually cut though

@@ubertenorsaxyman Could be but could also be laser cut.

Nextralife Wouldn't that still be digital? -The reading part? The playing is on the analog side.

Lou Fazio it would still be analogue, as it involves moving parts (if I remember correctly)

Pheonix Arising My bad. Binary is what I was thinking.

Nextralife it is not a computer because you can't simulate a turing machine on it. It is quite impressive though.

Jesus Adfasd: This organ is a textbook example of a deterministic Turing machine. A DTM reads a symbol off of a program tape and writes a corresponding symbol based upon what it has read. In a DTM, each read symbol X will have a single write symbol output Y. Similarly, this organ reads unique notes off of a program written onto a long sheet of paper as either a hole (1) or no hole (0). Based upon the finite number of unique combinations of 1 and 0, the organ is theoretically capable of being scaled to produce an equally finite number of unique output signals as musical notes. Each unique combination of 1 and 0 “read” from the sheet can be “written” as a unique musical note or chord. Given input signal X, the organ will always output note Y and, barring mechanical failure of the organ or the music sheet, will never output random notes for a given, established read symbol. Now, what this machine is not that a modern electronic computer is, is a universal Turing machine. A UTM can simulate any other given Turing machine, be they DTM or NTM, and thus theoretically solve any mathematical problem. This organ, even with its binary language, could be made into a UTM. It would need 15 different modes however, rather than this organ’s single mode. In fact, there are real world examples of them right here on KZfaq. Just search “mechanical Turing machine”.

This really shows the whole "they don't make 'em like they used to" mindset at it's finest. My printer is just as bad. A shame.

@Amy Zee Like the way your brain works. Great comment! 🤣🤣

While the reply is funny, I believe the usual problem is papers sticking together; since all the paper here is attached, very easy to separate. And yes, paper jams have no right to happen; it should be an easy solution.

This instrument was clearly maintained in a very good condition and fixed whenever something broke down and also the cost of this instrument and your printer can't even be compared. The printer was made from cheap materials and is in general cheap unlike this instrument

Modern printers are actually designed to fail or seem crummy or outdated. Its because the technology has been perfected enough it can't be improved much further, and one printer can last decades. Because of this printer companies need to keep afloat some how so most stop making cartridges or intentionally design the printer to die when the warranty expires. Oddly this has led people to buy printers from the 80s, 90s, 2000s.

Or carousel.

I would make my husband take me on that ferris wheel ❤💙💛💚💜🖤

Tea "I pity your wife if you think 6 minutes is long." -Freddie Mercury, Bohemian Rapsody, 2018

Who has never heard this song tho

A Whole Lot Of Rachel my friend Sorry my EX friend

I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever.

Them: it surely has to be over, I mean this guitar solo is a great way to end it. Me: nope...wait...here it comes... GALLILEOOOO! Them: I think queen fans are a different breed Me: ROGERS FALSETTO IS GREAT...WAIT LET ME SHOW YOU IT IN LAP OF THE GODS ITS LIKE HARMONIZED GIRL SCREAMS

So they tried to destroy the USS Enterprise And made these!?! Odd.

I actually live near an old amusement park with a historic carousel complete with its fully operational Wurlitzer from when the park first opened around the turn of the century

A friend of my parents had a three tiered keyboard Werlitzer in his living room. It was fully working. Hearing Tocatta In Fuge on it rocked. Much like this. Wonderful rendition. Had me singing all the way through.

After listening to this song ONCE yesterday, the lyrics have been terrorizing me all day.

A Hunt that’s the beauty of Bohemian Rhapsody

Anyone can do that with any song.

Me too

You should hear the midi version, the keys end up emulating the lyrics as well

i disagree, a computer can calculate, his is more like a big pneumatic instrument with a programmable valve-port. it's impressive by itself, but whats even more impressive is the person with the ability and patience to adapt the melody to fit within the range of the tones for each instrument could perform.

@jeopardy60611 The (visual) similarity with the socalled "pianoroll" in a MIDI music program (Logic Pro X for instance) is clear...

I understand what you're thinking, but you can hear the resonance & natural reverberation of a tall ceiling and large echo-y room.

@@TonBil1 Yeah, that software is replicating the image of the piano roll to allow you to visualize the music and edit it easily. It looks like there is a wheel on the back that may have been used to feed the roll through manually, but the organ was probably retrofitted later on with an electric motor. I have seen other videos where the roll had to be fed through manually by turning the wheel.

@@jeopardy60611 makes sense tho if this machine was used as long as i think we all agree has it would have been cheaper to get a electric motor now the question how old is the electric motor
