  • A rare find, an early untouched 19.5\8 Polyphon: The rarity being it’s sweet Silvertone. Whilst most models (104 ) are strident and can be rather raucous. The 97 & early 98’s tend to be sweet softly voiced machines. This was one of two that turned up in the same week after a dearth of 5 years. True Collectors Pieces

    I first watched this video on March 13 of this year, the day my dog passed on after 10 long years of making us a happy family. When I first watched this video, I imagined her spirit looking around the corners of my empty, dark house before walking away to find heaven. The click at the end of the melody made me think about how life can stop so abruptly. It’s sad that it stopped, but you’re glad you got to experience it. This is truly a beautiful melody.

      I don't know Chinese, so I had to translate it. I got "Oh, Virgin Mary! Gentle mother, please listen to the cry of a young girl. On this desolate rock, the cry of the Holy Mother flies to you."
      Which seems to be a Chinese translation of "O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!" which is text from the original piece.

      There were self playing musical instruments working on the same principle around in 1805 - see: sur plateau . Going back even 100 years earlier there were pinned wooden barrels that dictate the notes sounded via a pipe organ, bells - see: carillon, & even glass bells on some early German clocks. The diversity & ingenuity of some early pieces is mind blowing. The following link will take to music by Beethoven written especially for self playing flute clocks: czcams.com/video/GEVnzP-JORE/video.html Hope you enjoy 😉

    Hurrah! How pleasant is to hear the melodies played by music-boxes. These music-boxes helped those who learn to play melody on marimba, glockenspiel, vibraphone and xylophone etc. In some antique mechanical musical clocks the built in music-box marked the hours of the day or played melody just before the hour strike on either chiming bar, tubular bell, dome shaped bell or coiled wire gong. Nowadays these types of music-boxes and chiming clocks are electronically imitated by some quartz clocks because they contains electronically recorded and programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker but they can't beat the real music-boxes and chiming clocks.

    Someday if and when Earth is invaded from Space, we may have to justify the existence of humans. The Fleet Commander will look at our cellphones, guns, bombs, plastic waste, oil, wars, politicians, porn, etc. But I think if we showed them this, they may see our value to the universe.

    • @bmjessep
      @bmjessep Před 3 lety +2

      Unfortunately they probably won't subscribe to the same ideals of beauty as we, and if they have music it will seem raucous to us. Perhaps they will still consider us beautiful, because our wars, weapons, and waste aren't as bad as theirs - that's something I don't want to imagine.

      Model 104 from the Polyphon Musikwerke, Leipzig, Germany. It would have been used in a public house, or similar commercial environment (across Europe and beyond) due to the coin operation. The popular disc’s, from volume of survivors are popular music hall songs from the day, followed by popular marches & waltzes.

    I wonder if someone could have designed one of these players so that the pinbox would slightly move as the disk turned so that it could do more than one revolution while continuing the music in a secondary or third track that would be slightly offset. I'm not good on rotational mechanics, so maybe it wasn't possible and that's why they didn't.

The pins ( projections ) are on the back of the disc. The disc shifts & engages another track. So your mind was bang on the money & rotational dynamics. Thanks for your interesting comment & I hope you enjoy the disc shifting Sirion 👍🏻
