You might want to ask Julian Dyer about this.

I know the song but can't remember the name. What is it?

[smalin]

It's a waltz by Chopin; sometimes called the "Minute Waltz."

That's some old school DJing, right there

[Davidrogerman]

era como ser dj en el siglo XIX

[jwcsh]

Wow. So it takes a skilled musician to operate the music playing machine. :-)

É mais difícil controlar essa pianola aí do que tocar a própria música no teclado do piano.

As a 1901 Pianola owner, all I can say is WOW, HAVEN'T I GOT A LOT TO LEARN lol.

Being mostly a gramophone collector, I've been setting the "speed control" as indicated on the roll, & there it stays to the end of a roll, unless a change is indicated on the roll itself. Basically the same with the sustain lever. I can now see why my playing (& many others here on youtube) sound so lifeless & flat.

Thanks to both you & Julian for this demo video. It's truly educational & inspiring!
