Very nice Aeolian Player! I have one that is a 1250 model 46 note player built in 1888. I am in the process of rebuilding it now. Can't hardly wait till I get it finished. Where did you get the rolls for this organ to play? I am looking for some 46 note rolls for mine. I only have one roll that is a partial roll. It was mostly devoured by a mouse.

What a snappy and addictive rag. I've tried to play it on my piano. It's harder than it sounds. Lovely maintained instrument as well. Thanks for the great video!

This would really draw some interest from anyone not knowing it's a player. The music sounds like the organist has 3 hands!

Great video ! Can you please post a video where you're playing ? Is this Aeolian electric ?

Hi, this performance was recorded in Gosport, Hampshire, England.  This Aeolian organ is foot-treadle operated.

why dont the keys move like pianola

[vacmanvt]

The keyboard action in these organs as well as the Orchestrelle is pneumatic rather than mechanical like a regular hand-played reed organ. Basically, the keys open and close the same set of valve ports the way the roll does, so the keys are not mechanically moved as in a player piano.
