  • There are a lot of comments about tuning here, but personally, I like it just the way it is! No one really had a perfectly tuned piano at home either. This sound literally comes right out of my great grandmother's living room and a 1920 unit much like this, as I recall it. I last visited there in 1960. Could you put up some more songs? This just sounds fabulous! Hearing even this little piece made it a different day, for me at least!

  • I'll try to put up a few more. Maybe we'll do the whole song next time.

  • The name of the song is "Ain't We Got Fun".

  • Ouch... I love player pianos, but could you please tune this one and redo the video?

  • The piano hasn't been tuned in years and getting it tuned isn't high on the priority list. The cost of tuning is almost as much as the thing is worth.

  • how much is something like that worth?

  • Not sure. I believe they were pretty common back in the day. They can be expensive to restore.

  • this this launrence j cooks version

  • Ma!! That there ghost's on the piano again!!

  • That was a joke, by the way.

  • Ma!!! The ghost's play'n the piano again!!!!

  • Haha, who cares if its tuned, to me, half the fun isn't even listening to them (thats certainly part of it!) but looking at the thing play itself, and watch all the little levers, pivots, plungers, and bellows move! Its amazing to me that the first of these things date back to the 1800's!

  • Imagine, that just playing in the middle of the nite and your the only one home....Start dancing and let go! That's what I say...

  • a beautiful peice of machinery that people take for granted

  • Nice!

  • Folks today may laugh at this, but in the early part of the 20th century this was wonderful thing for people to have in their homes. It was the equivalent of today's wide-screen HDTV and a fully equipped entertainment center. And it was nearly as expensive.

  • Here comes Santa claus here comes santa clause right down santa clause lane..

    (yes I know those arent the real words but it sounds the same..lol)
