A Rough Cut Of Next Weeks Video! AND LIVESTREAM TOMORROW NIGHT
Added 2023-10-12 15:56:59 +0000 UTCso after a couple of days of messing with this, it is coming together!
i seemed to have forgot to pick up a linkage for it, and also the sustain bellows are not hooked up, ill cover this, tuning and also adding a vacuum pump to it in a subsequent video in a few weeks.
as for midifying, i dont think i will do it to this piano, it is amazing how it is, it just needs an electric motor to drive it. the fact it is such a good and original example (unlike the organ was) i think maintaining its original function is to be desired. who knows maybe a midi addon to the front will be in order using solenoids. but i might get another piano for that! as always wanted to bash together a self playing piano!.
i have since oiled the foot pedals and it sounds much better and a conclusion to the video and a better ending song.
at 7:30pm tomorrow evening uk time i will be doing an hour livestream (i dont think i can do more as i would need calves of steel to keep pumping!) going through a few rolls on it. so keep an eye out for that tomorrow!
PEACE.

2023-10-15 20:32:31 +0000 UTCI could imagine not much work to get that to work with weight. Didn't know some did that.

2023-10-13 07:48:41 +0000 UTCUnfortunately the keys don't seem to go down while playing in this system, that has always been a funny aspect of a lot of player pianos... But cool that it's working!
