Here is a lovely rendition of Charles Gounod's "Ave Maria" ("Hail Mary") as played on one of our 1905 18 1/2 inch Mira Concert Grand console music boxes. I have always enjoyed listening to the piece on this particular music box as it never fails to leave me speechless. I have played this same selection on music box discs from my collection on our 20 1/2 inch Olympia music box, 15 1/2 inch Reginaphone and 17 1/4 inch Stella and this particular rendiion on this box produces the finest rendition of all of them. Thanks for stopping in.

This brings a tear to my eye, the sound of past. I can picture people gathered around this instrument in an old Victorian living room, the logs in the fireplace crackling with Mom &Dad sitting in the overstuffed chairs and the red velvet curtains behind them, us kinds on the large area rug. The gas lights flickering and the snow swirling outside the picture window.

@picleus 3 года назад

Ehh, entirely electronic music, never "played" music exists and is often beautiful and full of emotion. Music boxes are in the same realm, but they are generally not used in innovative ways. If you want some food for thought, check out Wintergatan's "Marble Machine." The device has manual elements, but it's a true beauty of automated music performance. EDIT: mitxela "More MIDI madness" here on RU-vid also has some interesting, albeit silly, ideas.

@MusicBoxBoy I just love music, both creating it, playing it, and listening to it. To me, these antique music boxes provide a perfectly accurate revisitation of the sounds of the late 1800's and very early 1900's. There are very few things which can provide such an experience, putting you 'right there' yet again to enjoy it as it was (and still is). Oh, and let's not forget the artistic value of the machine itself, considering also just how much work went into building them, a much slower pace

And most modern pipe organs have a midi function too, mind you, a computer is usually required to be hooked up, but some older models use the music paper that player piano's and calliopes used back in the old days as well, so despite it's popularity as a digital format, midi has been around for quite some time as a self playing music format.

It's refreshing to hear that you also commented on one of my favorite features of a large disc music box - and that is the long lasting tone (or sustain) produced by the combs and amplified by the cabinet as the final teeth that were struck are "cooling down". It is a truly magnificent sound and really enhances the ending of a tune!
