[aardvaark069]

That's perfectly wretched!

[Joseflhevinne]

is this an arranged roll?

@Joseflhevinne

I think this is not arranged ,

and I dont know who plays this , but

Duo-Art catalog says there are 2 rolls of "Nocturne Op.9No.2"

#5771 Leopold Godowsky

#7075 Ethel Leginska

You are so right kyokutyou2007 it is a very large lie indeed. The only electricity involves is the pump motor; everything else is run by pneumatics! This instrument is in a really dreadful condition and being demonstrated by ignorant people.

That Museum staff said to us " When the hole of piano rolls and Tracker bar comes in succession , it changes into electric signals. And key is driven. "

I was surprised to hear " changes to electric signals"

I think it is a large lie.

This example of a badly maintained and out of tune DuoArt Pianola gives a false impression to people of one of the great musical instruments of the age.

the reproducing mechanism is not working even 1%. All the player is doing is playing the central note data. It needs a lot of work....
