Today we'll look at (some of) what it took to restore the manual percussion elements of the Style 15: The Bass Drum and Cymbal. BIG Thanks to my Patreon Member: Benjamin Domask-Ruh! / outsidethevacuum
I would love to see the restoration of the organ pipes please. I love your videos. You have a great personality. I would love to meet you and talk player pianos.
The thing you didn't remember the name for that goes inside of the pipe is called a stopper. If you want the tiny little cymbal to have a bit more "humph" to it, try unscrewing the screw that goes through the center of the cymbal so it can wiggle just a little bit more. This will let it ring just enough to make a nice balance between the other instruments and still have it be audible! I thought the name "doinger" fit the cymbal striker perfectly 😂
I just found your channel and it was most likely the fastest Subscribe to a channel. I remembering seeing my first ever player piano was in a museum. It didn't work (Run), but still. But the most crazy player organ I saw was a pipe organ at the Roaring 20s in Florida. It was huge and loud and had a hold bunch of other instruments that would play alone with the organ. And as a kid it felt more magical then Disney. Sad that it closed, but at lest (As I have read) the organ was moved to California. Player Pianos will always be magical to me.
