@ampicoab I enjoy automated musical instruments, also, such as player pianos, orchestrions, band organs, fairground organs , etc. in addition to the theater organ. When ever I can, I visit Cooley's Old Time Piano Shoppe website. COTPS sells all kinds of automated musical instruments. COTPS is located in Hochessin DE. I love the music they have on there as well. I enjoy looking at pictures of instruments there. Unfortunately. Rick Cooley, Sr. who owned it, passed away on 8-15-2010. his wife, Be

That is quite something for a player piano to have a fall board that opens and closes automatically, as it plays. How unique and unusual!

At 0:32 The haunted piano is being played by a GHOST!
Although I'm a pianist, I know nothing about player pianos. And I've always wondered: can a human play a player piano as he would a regular piano? You know, like with the keys 'n' stuff?

@simersonic1 Absolutely yes. There is no difference.

so it's just luck that the re-roll track is on the same tracker hole on both?=)

@WelteMax Actually, no. The reroll track for the Duo Art is the first hole on the left. For the Welte, it is hole ten from the right side. Obviously, many of the tracker holes have multiple functions, depending on which system is operating. More complex is the division of the the stack. Each system has separate expression for bass and treble, but the divide point is not the same. The Welte has more notes, including low C, on the bass. The Duo Art bass starts at C#.

@WelteMax so what happens if you would paly any 88-note on it ;)?

@WelteMax Play 88-note rolls by putting tape over the Duo Art expression holes. Select the Duo Art position, and play the roll.
