@0276boy I love Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. I got a Yamaha keyboard, which has the standard 88 note piano keyboard, so I could learn to play piano. Right now, all I do, is push some buttons and get it to play Maple Leaf Rag. This was a cheap alternative to, and easier to get into an apartment than a piano.

Great arrangement and beautiful restoration Art and crew. Nice to see you on Youtube. Met you at Jasper's open house. Keep on.

No, ragtime isn't a horse race, but it;s not a funeral dirge either. Joplin's music adapted itself to "needs" and some of those needs were dancing, marching, merry go rounds, mechanical pianos and organs, movies and so on. Think of Verdi, Strauss, Sousa and the like. Popular culture embraced them all and I rejoice that Joplin still stirs the imagination such as he does.

The last time I saw a machine like this was at a AMICA member's home. Nice job!

Great arrangement! Terrific restoration!
Not to stir up any controversy, but I do believe the North Tonawanda Orchestrina and Mando-Orchestra are larger American-made orchestrions, both physically and in terms of actual instrumentation. (They don't have full-size pianos, however).
The Berry-Wood A.O.W. has a full-size piano and more instrumentation than a Seeburg H, but it is not as tall.
How "ornate" something is, compared to something else, is a matter of purely aesthetic opinion.

Hey Andrew, great comment! I am just the poster, and defer to others with more specific knowledge. I do believe the "H" does exceed others with its "solo" capability. I would like the experts to chime in with facts.
Lets face it, these are all great machines and it is wonderful to hear them perform. Restoration and preservation, and then enjoyment, is the most important part. We love them all!
