  • 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.

In preparing this work my objeft has been twofold : (i) To state concisely the main principles of organ-building ; (2) to assist organ students, organists, and candidates for diplomas and certificates, by providing answers to the questions upon Organ Construction which have been set by the Royal College of Organists during the years 1888-1898. Anyone mastering the contents of these pages would, I think, not only be amply furnished with general information upon the subje6l of Organ Construftion, but would also possess a sort of " key," facilitating the study of more elaborate and technical works. The author's thanks are cordially tendered to all who have assisted him in collecting information. He specially desires to express his gratitude to Dr. J. Warriner and to the Rev. J. B.
