- This amazing instrument is The Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina - an Orchestrion with self-playing Violins, Enjoy!
Name: Phonoliszt Violina
Type of Instrument: Orchestrion
Year Built: 1914
Maker: Ludwig Hupfeld A.-G.
Place of Manufacture: Leipzig, Germany
Welcome to the first episode of our completely new video series: Music Machine Mondays. This series is an attempt to share the wonders of the Speelklok Museum with you.
Speelklok is a mechanical music instrument museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
We have filmed my favourite instruments from the museums collection and on every monday we feature a different mechanical masterpiece. All the Best/ Martin & Co
------------------
Video Made by Martin Molin & Hannes Trainerds Knutsson
Thanks to our friends at the wonderful Speelklok Museum:

If you want to support:
The fact that you are watching the videos and care about the music and future of Wintergatan is the best support anyone can have, I want to thank everyone who is here for that kind of support, it is really the fuel for the Wintergatan Engine.
PAYPAL ME

Why do we accept support in this way?
I, Martin, can already sustain myself 100% doing what I love to do. If you want to support artists/organisations who have not yet reached that privileged position, please consider supporting other artists/organisations who need the support more. With that said, I have too many ideas and too little time and with your support I can get more help from people around me to execute the ideas better and bring them out in the world faster.

@andrewbarrett1537 2 года назад

@@leefongchew2107 The violins don't need to be removed for tuning. Instead, there are screw-tuners on each headstock like on a guitar, and there are small buttons I think located in front of the violin section, which, when the instrument is turned on and with the roll frame in 'neutral', cause each violin to sound by moving it towards the bow, along with sounding the corresponding note on the piano at the same time. So long as the piano is in tune (and it only needs to be tuned about 2 times per year in a museum environment... more if commercially used), then the violins can just be tuned to the piano. The other 3 sympathetic strings on each violin are tuned by plucking them with the fingers and adjusting the screw-tuners.

We all want to be competitive ya, but not create something which marginalizes ourselves altogether, falling back on us negatively. Long story short, there's much forecasting which goes into literally ANY sort of production, and we would not invent things which kill off the inventor. Who wants to invest in doomed engineering???? Those are just scare tactics to drive up our productivity in society. Don't fall for society's tricks, always be 10 steps ahead...

@MechanicalMusicTravels 6 лет назад

These machines were built in three models: The model A (one in this video) the model B (which has a round compartment which conceals the violins, and the model C, slightly more plain. They were manufactured under the name "Phonoliszt Violina" and were made in large numbers, by the Hupfeld company, which was based in Leipzig, Germany. This was their most popular line of instruments, which they dubbed as "The eighth wonder of the world". The Hupfeld firm also made many player pianos and large orchestrions.

@MechanicalMusicTravels 6 лет назад

Hupfeld also made a couple of Violinas apt for use in cinemas, on that model, the violins were in a seperate case that sat alongside the piano.

@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH 6 лет назад

The Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violiana remarkable as it may be is not the only machine to play a violin mechanically.As meanwhile in the USA a certain Henry Conrad Sandell devised an even more remarkable machine to play a violin & piano mechanically which is only a quarter of the size of the Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violiana. The result was the the most remarkable & unique mechanical music machine ever devised The Mills Violiana Virtuoso.What makes the violiana virtuoso so special is that it contains no vacumn & is Entirely electro magnetic in operation Thousands of these were built by mills & a vast number still survive today.Unlike Hupfeld The Mills Violiana Virtuosa has only a single violin & uses all 4 strings which are bowed by a variable speed electric motor which has a far greater dynamic range than the Hupfeld system.Because of its unique mode of operation The Mills Violiana Virtuoso lends itself instantly to MIDI and a digital player system is now made for this. It would be an interesting exercise to compare the Mills & Hupfeld machines side by side to see which is really the Eighth Wonder Of The World!

And if someone made this today it would come with a 90 day warranty, break down after 91 days, and cost a fortune to repair. I mean just imagine this was playing over and over and over and over to audiences at a worlds fair. And it STILL works today. The quality and workmanship in this beauty is not likely to be reproduced in the modern world. A real shame.

I have always admired these types of instruments. Here in the United States there are a few collections. My favorite is the Stahl Museum in S/E Michigan. They are both an automotive museum (about 150 cars of 20-40s like Auburns, Duesenbergs, Benz, movie cars, etc.) they also have an extensive collection of these instruments including one identical to this one and a couple of other violin players. Some of them are huge....maybe 15' high and 30' wide or more). They are played through out your visit and if that isn't enough....they also have a large theater pipe organ that plays throughout the day.

The originals (of which I think around 60 exist), when they (rarely) come up for sale, typically sell for in the mid 6 figures (USD). The replicas made by the MMM are more "affordable" and sell in the low 6 figures I think. "Affordable"... hee hee. This is why I collect foot pumped player pianos. But of course these are awesome if you can afford one. If you can't, there are just enough in public museums in the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and I think a few other places, to hopefully visit and see and hear one in person.

That would be Mr. Gustav Karl Henning, plus several other people working for the Hupfeld company. But I believe he was the main inventor of most of the gadgetry in this. The "Das Mechansiches Musikinstrument" magazine, the journal of the GSM, German Mechanical Music Society, dedicated an entire magazine issue to him and his inventions a couple decades ago.

@maysyarah4069 6 лет назад

Tapani Nuolimies Tapani Nuolimies i have the string instruments and i have piano too, I have to tune it frequently. And the white thing with holes that Rolling, it seems new for me because it's still white enough for 100 years. I need more information because I'm just curious.

@KawhackitaRag 6 лет назад

I guess it isn't shown too well in this video, but each of the three violins are provided with screw-tuners like a regular classical guitar... supposedly they help the violins stay in tune longer than regular violins with traditional friction tuners, but not too much! :P To tune the violins, one simply turns on the machine, and I think moves a lever in the spoolbox which sets it at "neutral". With the pump running and the bow wheel spinning, there are three (I think) buttons in the spoolbox which actuate the "play" pneumatic for each violin (the one that pushes it into the bow), as well as simultaneously playing that tuning-note on the piano. Thus, the person in front can adjust the screw-tuners until that string is in tune with its piano note. Of course, the sympathetic resonance strings have to be plucked manually to tune them, since they are not played by the bow, and the operator needs to manually strike the piano keys for those sympathetic string notes. So yes it helps to have a pretty good ear to keep this in tune, since it sounds horrible otherwise :) But I don't think they need to be tuned more than once or twice a day, provided the room has good climate control. If you have perfect pitch you may wish them tuned a little more often. For an instrument that is providing background music for a restaurant or hotel something like eight hours a day (pre amplified sound), without attention other than turning it on and periodically changing the rolls, that's still pretty good. The Mills Violano-Virtuoso (an American competitor) had a much different system, where the violin tuning pegs were entirely replaced by levers connected to heavy weights, with a screw system allowing the leverage of the weights and tension to be adjusted. (you can see this in the video "punching a hole, playing a roll" here on RU-vid) When properly set up with good strings... their violins stay in tune a LONG time.... almost as long as the piano!
