A systems approach to problem finding, framing, and solving is applied to explore how we might increase fashion reuse behaviours amongst consumers and industry alike. This research includes an analysis of the key barriers that prevent higher rates of participation in fashion reuse despite the potential economic, environmental, and social benefits of doing so (Part 2), and identifies areas of opportunity to focus innovation (Part 3). Research methodology included more than 30 one-on-one consumer interviews, 20 interviews with industry professionals along the fashion value chain, and an extensive environmental scan with a particular focus on the Canadian market. -

A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900'S
A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900’s © 2015 Rick Crandall Evolution of the American Orchestrion Leading to the Coinola SO “Super Orchestrion” The Genesis of Mechanical Music The idea of automatic musical devices can be traced back many centuries. The use of pinned barrels to operate organ pipes and percussion mechanisms (such as striking bells in a clock) was perfected long before the invention of the piano. These devices were later extended to operate music boxes, using a set of tuned metal teeth plucked by a rotating pinned cylinder or a perforated metal disc. Then pneumatically- controlled machines programmed from a punched paper roll became a new technology platform that enabled a much broader range of instrumentation and expression. During the period 1910 to 1925 the sophistication of automatic music instruments ramped up dramatically proving the great scalability of pneumatic actions and the responsiveness of air pressure and vacuum. Usually the piano was at the core but on larger machines a dozen or more additional instruments were added and controlled from increasingly complicated music rolls. An early example is the organ. The power for the notes is provided by air from a bellows, and the player device only has to operate a valve to control the available air. Internal view of the Coinola SO “orchestrion,” the For motive most instrumented of all American-made machines. power the Photo from The Golden Age of Automatic Instruments early ©2001 Arthur A. Reblitz, used with permission. instruments were hand -cranked and the music “program” was usually a pinned barrel. The 'player' device became viable in the 1870s. -
The Big Picture - Welte’S Instruments, Rolls, Recording, Digital Editing
The big picture - Welte’s instruments, rolls, recording, digital editing by David Rumsey The Welte Philharmonie - or Philharmonic to most English-speakers - was an ingenious musical instrument. Its origins lay in both the pneumatics and acoustics of the ancient Greeks, to say nothing of their mechanics, hydraulics or music. In the 20th century, both the “Phil”, as it is affectionately known in some circles, and aeronautical engineering, brought human arts and sciences of using air to their zenith. Pneumatic organ actions were then transformed to electric actions although there was a later reaction back to mechanics. For the aviation industry it was seminal: aircraft now replaced steam engines and organs as the most complex technology known to civilisation. The many ages and stages between the ancient Greeks, and Welte’s early 20th century automatic instruments, produced a train of incremental invention. Each epoch found ways of making organs play and sound the way it wanted them to. That changed with every new aesthetic from gothic, renaissance, baroque, “neo- classical” late 18th century, through the romantic era and on to a second, “neo- classical” phase, in the 20th century. It differed from country to country, culture to culture, even language to language: whether French, German, Italian, English or Netherlands, organs were also expressions of national ethos. By the early 19th century, the means of controlling the aesthetic qualities of organ pipes had long been established by empirical means: if it sounded good, then that was the way it was done. Sounding good, of course, differed according to Welte’s original proposal for the appearance of whether you were a medieval Britannic’s Philharmonie on board Netherlander, a renaissance Spaniard, a baroque Saxon, or your language and culture were “classical” French. -

MECHANICAL MUSIC Journal of the Musical Box Society International Devoted to All Automatic Musical Instruments Volume 60, No. 3 May/June, 2014 65th Annual Meeting October 7 - 12, 2014 at the Bonaventure Resort & Spa in Weston, Florida "Our Backyard Museum" - The Jancko Collection Step back in time as you tour "Our Backyard Museum", the collection of Joel and Pam Jancko. Joel and Pam Jancko started their collection in the early 1990’s with only one building to house a couple of vehicles. This collection has grown through the years with additional buildings to encompass displays of an old town, a war room, a saloon, a soda fountain, a game room, a log cabin, a service station, a bicycle display, a fire station, a cinema, a street scene, a farm scene, a street clock, a steam engine, and even a fort. The Museum complex contains artifacts from the Civil War to WW1 and features many innovations from this time. Of most interest to our MBSI group will be the Music Room with a wide variety of instruments, including an Imhof & Mukle, a Seeburg H, a Wurlitzer CX, a Double Mills Violano, a Cremona K, a Weber Unika, an Encore Banjo, a Model B Harp, a Bruder band organ, a Limonaire band organ, a Bruder monkey organ, an American Photo Player and a classic Mortier, as well as a variety of cylinder and disc music boxes, organettes and phonographs. Making its debut at this meeting will be their newly acquired and installed 3 manual/11 rank Wurlitzer Opus 1616 theatre organ (model 235SP), expanded to 22 ranks. -
