1. pianola

   A player piano (also known as a pianola) is a self-playing piano containing a pneumatic or electro-mechanical mechanism, that operates the piano action via programmed music recorded on perforated paper or metallic rolls, with more modern implementations using MIDI. The rise of the player piano grew with the rise of the mass-produced piano for the home, in the late 19th and early 20th century. Sales peaked in 1924, then declined, as the improvement in phonograph recordings due to electrical recording methods developed in the mid-1920s. The advent of electrical amplification in home music reproduction via radio in the same period helped cause their eventual decline in popularity, and the stock market crash of 1929 virtually wiped out production.

1. pianola

   A pianola, also known as a player piano, is a self-playing piano that operates by using a pre-programmed perforated paper or a metallic roll to trigger the notes. The roll passes over a mechanism, known as a tracker bar, which then causes the corresponding piano keys to be struck, reproducing the programmed music.
