About Gary's PIANOLA channel

Welcome to the Pianola Channel featuring my collection of instruments. Player-Pianos or Pianolas aren't just antique automatons grinding out old tunes, but are interactive musical instruments, capable of playing ALL types of music. The music roll merely provides the correct notes - it's up to the operator, by using the controls and varying the degree of pedaling, to control the dynamics, tempo and expression and create a musical performance.
