Entry of the Gladiators (Thunder and Blazes) The Classic Circus Music

[ZombieGorePrincess]

I love the old player pianos. The roll is basically the same as the old punch card computers they used in the 80's ( google it, it's fascinating). So in essence, the piano is running a program.

[circusitch]

Neat-o!

I have a sudden urge to ride a unicycle...

The dots on the left and right control how loudly the music plays, and are hard to read. The notes, however, are easy to read.

1899? This music is older than dirt. It's still a popular classic, though. Where did you find this? Or perhaps you played it on your own piano?

[kyawmawthu]

would anyone dare to come up forth and put the piece of meat into the lion's mouth?

[falariem]

Amazing. I haven't seen one of these since I was a kid.

[TheYarxia]

What happened to that poor player piano roll at 2:04?!

[AeolianHall1]

What was what thing? I'll be happy to reply if I know what question you have.

[wirechair]

what is that thing?

[OvaNineThousand]

@wirechair

Before the digital age, auto-playing pianos used those to play. Where ever there's a hole, the piano will play a note. Lines mean extended play. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it's essentially physical binary; gaps and faces are like 0s and 1s.

Did the gladiators enter in an exploding car?

[DeliriLuxSolis]

I LOVE THOSE PIANOS! my grandfather used to have one, sadly he no longer does.

[Yumminess0]

You'd need a lot of fingers to actually play that o.O

[paxtofettel]

What is the name of this instrument?"

[liamblackere]

[AeolianHall1]

@Jonmiehe This is a test

[AeolianHall1]

I think that when you refer to the top and bottom notches, you may be talking about notes 1 through 4 and notes 85 through 88. I have all 8 of these holes closed off when I am playing a Duo-Art roll. For playing a Welte Mignon roll, I will turn on note 4, and when playing an Ampico roll I can turn on notes 3 and 4. If I play a Hupfeld Triphonola roll, then I turn on notes 1, 2, 3 and 4. I can turn on the high notes too, but since they are so rarely played, I almost never turn them on.

[AeolianHall1]

Ich spreche kein Deutsch, und ich lasse Google für mich übersetzen. Meine Maschine spielt 88 und 65 beachten Sie Rollen, und das ist ein 88 Tasten rollen. Sie können durch das Papier zu sehen gibt es eine zweite Reihe von Löchern für 65 Noten.
