Vid 1 Midi operated Gulbransen Orchestrion / Nickelodeon Built by Roberts Musical Restorations

This was a Gulbransen player piano that was converted to an Orchestrion. This is a sample video of the different ranges that it can be played. Via regular piano or as an Orchestrion. I a few samples I had removed the front panel to show a better view of the instruments. Note that the instruments will appear much louder with the front panel removed. You can literally play any song you want. 1000s are available on the internet. This piano will soon be for sale after fine tuning the programming.
More samples to come
Enjoy

Astounding! A few years ago a good friend passed away who operated Lichty's Music Store in Reading, PA. His claim to fame, locally, was that he sold an entire box-car full of Gulbransen player pianos within a week or two. A photo shows Henry Brown and his men emptying the box-car. Love the Blue Danube arragement. Thanks for this video.
