 | | This large instrument is a Model D Welte Cottage Orchestrion. It was purchased in 1905 by Mary on her travels to Geneva, Switzerland from the George Baker Company for $500 dollars. For that $500 dollars, Mary received the orchestrion and the two oak chests that contained 100 rolls of music. |

| | However, the days of orchestrions and coin-operated pianos were numbered during the 1920's. | | | Indeed, some of the more sophisticated orchestrions -- some of those produced in Germany during the 20th century being examples -- are to a human orchestra in apparent sound production what an Ampico, Duo-Art, or Welte reproducing piano is to a human pianist. | | | Hearing "If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight" played on a snappy and well-regulated Seeburg KT Special or listening to "Turkey in the Straw" on a perky Coinola orchestrion is a musical experience that no collector should miss. |

| | An orchestrion is a band in a box, a huge cabinet with a player piano and other automatic instruments inside--including hanging drums and triangles, a pipe organ, a violin, and a xylophone that plays like a machine gun. | | | Two lovers sit on a player piano bench, pumping the pedals with their feet and singing "I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again." Each time the song roll goes around, the two people get closer, until the piano collapses out of exhaustion. | | | The paper song roll sends pneumatic commands through the web of wires, tubes, and triggers that cover each instrument. |

| | The Orchestrion Builders - A story of the Leopold King family |
| | He opened the orchestrion and turned two wires, whereupon the orchestrion began playing, and the delighted butcher began dancing to the happy melody. | | | He was soon at work constructing a better and more advanced roll changing device, one that worked so that when one music roll had finished playing the next roll was able to play immediately, eliminating the awkward rewind break that would otherwise interrupt the flow of music. | | | Another time the acoustics in the room were so bad that Ernst had to make a plywood sound barrier, before the people in the room could hear the Paganini-Orchestrion N. A butcher and restaurant-keeper once threatened to kill Ernst, because of the orchestrion he was installing. |

| | Having seen and heard other pianos installed in orchestrions, I am pretty sure that the piano that I adapted for the Frati is a better piano than the original. | | | By the way, he told me, with a smile, that his father butchered orchestrions in order to sell the pianos. | | | Let me give you another example: The piano of the Frati had been thrown away so I bought a secondhand piano from a local piano dealer. |

| | Orchestrion |
| | In order to show the scope of work that can be performed at the studio, I designed and built a type of player piano called an "Orchestrion." An orchestrion is a self-playing or mechanical orchestra. | | | My home-built instrument can only be described as a 7'-6", Stroud based, "O" roll, Duo-Art Orchestrion, that plays 65 and 88-note rolls, Duo-Art rolls (with full expression) as well as 65 and 88-note Themodist rolls (with limited expression.) | | | They had pneumatics made in the pipe chest. |

| | Orchestrions |
| | The first orchestrions contained organ pipes which were supplemented by a few drums and cymbals so that the musical effect was that of a brass, or military band. | | | The later orchestrions contained a much greater proportion of percussion instruments and the effect was that of small dance orchestra. | | | Visitors not only enjoy the strident, rhythmic music which is so characteristic of this instrument, but they also delight in the moving picture and lighting effects which enhance the performance. |
