Download or read book Player Piano written by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Player-Piano' tells for the first time the fascinating story of the mechanical piano from earliest times up to the heyday of the instrument in the 1930s. Never before has this story been related, although the end of the player-piano is certainly still within the living memory of most of us and many hundreds of these devices are still to be found in our homes. In addition to telling the story of the development of these pianos which strove to produce perfect music without the need for skills on the part of the 'performer', this book sets out in copious detail exactly how these complex mechanisms work. For the owner of an instrument, step by step instructions for the restoration and preservation of both the early barrel-playing pianos and the most sophisticated player and reproducing instruments are given. To fully illustrate their development, design and mechanical processes, no less than 112 plates and 110 long drawings are included."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Regulation and Repair of Piano and Player Mechanism by : William Braid White
Download or read book Regulation and Repair of Piano and Player Mechanism written by William Braid White and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulation and Repair of Piano and Player Mechanism - Together with Tuning as Science and Art is a work authored by expert William Brad White. Player pianos, sometimes referred to as autopianos, were gaining in popularity in the early 1900s, necessitating a book about their servicing. Regulation and Repair of Piano and Player Mechanism is a resource guide for individuals tasked with repairing these large and rather complex instruments. The work focuses specifically on the pneumatic player, which was the standard player piano at the time. The book itself is rather brief and is divided into two sections. The first section deals with the regulation and repair of the piano, focusing on technical aspects the serviceman must be familiar with. Part two details tuning, and is intended not only for the serviceman but also the technically minded owner of a player piano. William Braid White's title is an effective overview of the regulation and repair of a player piano. While player pianos are scarce today, those that are in use certainly require upkeep, and thus this book will remain of interest to individuals tasked with working on these challenging instruments. This work will also appeal to readers interested in music history, as White captures a time when the appeal of automated instruments was perhaps at its greatest peak. Regulation and Repair of Piano and Player Mechanism - Together with Tuning as Science and Art is a detailed guide to servicing a once popular musical instrument. While the prevalence of player pianos has declined greatly since the beginning of the twentieth century, there remains a need for literature on the topic. If the subject matter of this text is of interest to you, White's book is a worthwhile read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Player Piano and Musical Labor by : Allison Rebecca Wente
Download or read book The Player Piano and Musical Labor written by Allison Rebecca Wente and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early 20th century the machine aesthetic was a well-established and dominant interest that fundamentally transformed musical performance and listening practices. While numerous scholars have examined this aesthetic in art and literature, musical compositions representing industrialized labor practices and the role of the machine in music remain largely unexplored. Moreover, in recounting the history of machines in musical recording and reproduction, scholars often tend to emphasize the phonograph, rather than player piano, despite the latter’s prominence within the newly established musical marketplace. Machines and their music influenced multiple areas of early 20th-century musical culture, from film scores to popular music and even the concert hall. But the opposite was also true: industrialized labor practices changed the musical marketplace and musical culture as a whole. As consumers accepted mechanical replacements for what previously required an active human laborer, ghostly, mechanical performers labored tirelessly in parlors, businesses, and even concert halls. Although the player piano failed to maintain a stronghold in the recorded music marketplace after 1930, the widespread acceptance of recording technologies as media for storing and enjoying music indicates a much more fundamental societal shift. This book explores that shift, examining the rise and fall of the player piano in early 20th-century society and connecting it to the digital technologies of today.

This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manuelo, the Player Piano That Is All but Human: Care, Regulation, Repair A player piano (or plain piano) should not stand against an outside wall, in a damp room, close to a window, or Where a strong draught of air blows across it. It must not be near stoves, hot air registers, steam pipes, etc. When not in use the case should be kept closed. Nor should a piano be subjected to sudden changes of temperature. If the room in which the instrument stands is cold, it should be warmed very gradually to prevent the moisture that is easily held in warm air from being condensed on the piano strings and other metal parts that require more time to warm up. Rapid heating with a gas stove will cause rusting and will make the hammers and keys sluggish in their action. Sudden changes in temperature will inevitably cause checking of the best of varnish work, because of the unequal expansion of the wood and of the var nish coat.

Download or read book The Piano written by Robert Palmieri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of the Piano was selected in its first edition as a Choice Outstanding Book and remains a fascinating and unparalleled reference work. The instrument has been at the center of music history with even composers of large symphonic work asserting that they do not write anything without sketching it out first on a piano; its limitations and expressive capacity have done much to shape the contours of the western musical idiom. Within the scope of this user-friendly guide is everything from the acoustics and construction of the piano to the history of the companies that have built them. The piano-lover might also be surprised to find an entry for Thomas Jefferson, and will no doubt read intently the passages about the changing history of the piano's place in the home. Uniformly well-written and authoritative, this guide will channel anyone's love for the instrument, through social, intellectual, art history and beyond into the electronic age.
