Player Pianos on YouTube
By Marc Goodman

Hello All -- Regarding Mr. Bernt Damm's recent posting [110820
MMDigest] I am glad that he enjoys hearing a great out-of-tune
upright player piano.  I went to his YouTube posting and heard
another 88-note player with the roar of a vacuum cleaner motor
in the background playing a rag roll with a hesitant air motor
-- awful!

I'm sorry to say that this fits nicely with the stereotype image
that most people have of a player: out of tune and with _no_
expression that should be put in by the pianolist!  And we all
want the younger generation to be interested in player pianos?!

Marc Goodman

 [ Bernt provided the YouTube video link only to illustrate the
 [ sound.  He specified, "Ignore the faulty player."  I don't think
 [ he has any connection with the player piano in the video clip.
