Player piano "The Entertainer" 

not really, they still needed at least a random guy sitting there competent enough to fake it, otherwise people would freak the hell out cause they would think the piano was haunted

THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS !

Damn, disruptive technology!

@@simonedaishi5290 Yes and no, they did need someone sitting there but not because people would freak out over the piano. Pianolas were well known by the public, but at least in the 1900's they required someone to manually pump the pianos pedals to power the motor inside. Later pianos like this were made to be electrical and even some antique ones were modified to be electrical.

earlier versions required someone to pedal it with their feet.

not one mistake

Oliver but look at his hands! Works too hard at that piano

rzeka *invisable asian

rzeka It's a ghost

*it's a trap!!!!*

and then a grammophon playing :)

or imagine you do a hologram where acreepy ghosts sits there and you program it so it looks like a ghost palys this piano in real life xDD

Shaggy: "Zoinks, ghosts!" Scooby: "Rhost!" Velma: "It's not a ghost! It's a player piano." Shaggy: "So who's playing it?!" Velma: "It's automatic"

​@Jessica Peterson at the start of the video u can see, that there are glass sliding doors to cover that up!

@Jessica Peterson they’d probably never seen a self-playing piano like this one, and would not know what’s going on inside and why there’s even a roll of paper

Paul F Tompkins You’re my hero.

Yeah, this thing really put a quarter in its ass.

Fake

Paul F Tompkins I saw your tweet about this and came on RU-vid to find it and like it.

Hi Paul!

Nick Young 😂😂😂😂

10 Billion IQ

They had one of these in an old Scooby Doo episode and it had that exact effect lol!

Oh, you watch that too!

That is the funniest idea I've heard involving a player-piano! Love it!

xD

Definately... this is somehow really disconcerting

SheepInCabbage but they should probably replace the song... this song is just way too amusing to be scary

Would be expensive i guess

Everyone: OMG A PIANO PLAYING ITSELF! Me: OMG A PLAYER PIANO! I HAVENT SEEN ONE BEFORE

When a screwdriver can screw in a screw better then you! ;)

well, there goes my motivation wait.. what motivation?

These replies and this comment are SO FUNNY!!! BUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

when a jack hammer can drill better than you ;)

Oh why howdyhowdy, funny to find you here!! It appears you too have good taste in content 😳

ravensrayne I never knew

fun fact, old pianos like those, normally its quite easy to tell what is what, because wooden keys are only white on the top and a brown on the sides that other keys hide, only the keys are white from what the eye can see and I think it was changed to fully white for the 80s or 90s pianos?

@@blurofmusic fyi, this piano is most likely from the 1980s. They switched key top material from Ivory to Mylar in the late 19 teens then to plastic a few years later.

so you can make a piano using wood AND bones!?!. amazing.

cannot unnotice

You mean the D is stuck?

must be why it's played in a different key

Pounicoss just a really long note

@@botchamaniajeezus Until right at the end when it pops up again ... cannot unnotice that either. lol

I know, right? And since it's not playing with any other instrument, it's not most will even notice.

+Chinchilla Man (Chinchilla Man 69) thanks! And my favorites gotta be "if I needed someone" off of rubber soul. It's definitely a recent favorite of mine? How about yours?

Kayla Plante I do too

Kayla Plante A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

It sounds old-fashioned ... I think that is because the old video/audio recordings weren't always so accurate, especially when tape is used, so the pitches/tones are a little off. (Plus older electronics and microphones didn't have such good sound quality back then.)

That is very, VERY true.

I don't see you fixing any old gems up Ruthie. More people, like you, need to work on themselves instead of being critical busy-bodies that care about everyone else's business.

@@theloanranger2632 My comment is so innocent and yours is very uncalled for. Who hurt you? And by the way, you don't know whether I fix them up or not, now do you? Pitiful. Try taking your own advice and staying out of my business.

@@theloanranger2632 Not to get involved, but I think Ruth was saying it as a compliment to the person who uploaded the video and done up the piano, you don't have to get involved in anyone's buisness, and Ruth has a right to upload what they want to upload. They don't have to upload everything they do. Not sure what kind of mood you are in now, but 6 months ago tells another story.

lma0

Darn right it was! The sound was better to. (grumbling voice) Not like the GS Wavetable Synth that's on Windows.

Just like most things in the 1900s

+Wardcartoonmaker get out now

Okay :( (Walks out head down Frowning)

Wardcartoonmaker Hah, that does seem like it!

Grant Pauley, Wardcartoonmaker has done nothing wrong.

It’s true

Thank you

You can actually get one for a pretty cheap price usually a working or semiworking player costs about 250 to 450 dollars. But you can get a working one for free if you look hard enough (that's how I got mine!). And some players in perfect condition can be worth over 20,000 dollars!

sweet! Haha when I get my own house some day in the future, Then I'll have to look for one. :) thanks for letting me know that!

Where did you look for you free one, it's awesome!

Nothing could be more correct to me than that!

Only "like"? It didn't just do it?

Midi is the digital version of the self playing piano roll and is why in all DAWs the sequencer is called a "Piano Roll".

You don’t have to imagine it, the video is showing it right there

I couldn't resist dancing or humming along

Crazier things have been done in the name of entertainment and education. Lol

Zoomers are so ADHD ridden that standing relatively still for 4 minutes is like climbing a mountain to them lololooololo

Perhaps one who put the Forgis on the Jeep?

@Bob Chris is correct about the age of this Aeolian player piano. It was made to look like a 1920's player piano but in the 1970's and 80's . Aeolian sadly went out of business around 1986 when the revival interest in player pianos was fading.

We got ours in the 1940s, but it was much richer and darker wood.

"Sleep paralysis"? Huhhh?

-.-

*Inhales* Boi

Yeah he even inspired Scott to make that bear game

I personally love it to. But this isn’t out of tune, it is just played in a different key instead of the original. But I really do like the sound!!

@@flexiblepaper7389 Yeah looking back now it definitely is out of tune. Guess I didn’t pick that up when I first made that comment.

It took you over an hour to find 'The entertainer'? wow

XD AN OUR FOR ENTERTAINER?!

I mean it is seriously EVERYWHERE>

Natalie Bruins no offense but that’s kinda funny because this is the most historic pieces of all time

Yeah, and invisible too.

not a honk tink. honk tonks are loud no matter what and they have a more of a harpischord sound

I could watch for DAYS! HAHAHA!

How old are you

Turkey in the Straw is the ice cream man song!

A.J. Swierzbinski Nononononono! There are no different opinions. I HAS to be tuned.

Hexagon "I HAS to be tuned" Wait, so YOU want to be tuned, eh? That sounded weird as hell man

Hexagon what is the definition of 'I Has'?

I have been telling that to other youtubers for the past 15 minutes! Thank you for having the same opinion as me!

Same haha. I was so confused as to how the robots were just ignoring this fururistic piano thing. Turns out they really existed in the wild west!

And it was made in the 1900's

Pretty badly but it does kind of make it sound old...😏🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎶

***** Its not out of tune, it just old and wont sound like pianos will play now adays

+CrazyFrogVlogger How can you claim that it's not out of tune because it is very obviously is out of tune. And piano sound hasn't really changed much in a LONG while, like there are hundred year old pianos which sound the same as newer ones. Desireable sounding pianos got easier to obtain though since Japanese picked up the business.

+ravensrayne The reason it sounds so out of tune is because it is being played in B-flat major when the original is C major. However, the piano is also flat by a semitone, so it is out of tune.

+CrazyFrogVlogger firstly it is out of tune, secondly that piano isnt terribly old.

No response 😭

Still no response 1 year later.

I think I might buy this scroll. If I do, I’ll take a vid of it and send it to ur e-mail or something if u want

ThoroughbredRock GENIUS!!!!!!GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

ThoroughbredRock, lol. If I was there, I’d just sit there and listen to it play this song the whole night...

I simply cannot agree with you more!

not that slow, maybe 25% slower

You're right, Garth. 25% slower would be a nice tempo.

jesus christ half as fast? nothing played that slow will ever sound good

Very true! On every Joplin song I've come across, it makes a point of saying "Not Fast" on the sheet music. It's crazy how many brilliant pianists just ignore it and play it way faster than it was meant to be played

It’s not flat at all. It is played in a different key.

@Elevator Fan its not even a half step flat, it’s only a change that someone with extremely good relative pitch or in my case, perfect pitch. definitely flat.

You're in the same hole as me man!

Simon 1 whats crappy

Your spelling

You don't need punctuation when there is only one sentence. It's used to mark out that "this is the end of the sentence and now there comes another sentence". In this case, my other comment only had one sentence and there is no need for punctuation. You can also see this in the title of the video. There is no "Next" sentence, so a dot is not needed. (If this is misleading, don't blame me. Blame my cheap school)

that only makes it even cooler to me

That's cool because you have more control.

I've seen an electric GRAND player and man that thing was LOUD.

I'm surprised you've never even seen a modern one, that runs on MIDI actuation instead of air.

"Music scrolls" in quotes? Why: is that not what they _actually_ are?

@@HelloKittyFanMan Fair enough 😂

@@christianstordahl8688: So if you agree now, and since you're already OK with editing comments here, then go ahead and edit the quotes off from around it for future readers (which will take less work than typing up a denial reply would).

joey hartemink it’s actually made of vacuums motors lol

Not actually all that far off. Pianolas are run with a negative air pressure system. It has large bellows on the bottom from which air is removed to create a partial vacuum which, through a series of valves and tubes, actuates the hammers that strike the strings playing the music. The earliest models of pianolas used pedals that the pianist would push with their feet to suck the air out, but after the advent of the electric motor, they started using those. Basically, it is like a vacuum cleaner hooked up to the bellows.

joey hartemink it does sound like a vacuum cleaner 😀

Seems legit

I think its just out of tune

No. Its made in china

TyloniumTV ......uummm, you do know China is an Asian country, right?

Judyp77 😂😂😂

Probably made in America if it's that old.

the player pianos were made by the french.
