A player piano (also known as pianola) is a self-playing piano, containing a pneumatic or electro-mechanical mechanism that operates the piano action via pre-programmed music recorded on perforated paper, or in rare instances, metallic rolls, with more modern implementations using MIDI encoded music stored on floppy disks or CDs. 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.
Antecedents
The idea of automatic musical devices can be traced back many centuries, and the use of pinned barrels to operate 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 musical boxes, which contain a set of tuned metal teeth plucked by the player mechanism.
Valencia was founded as a Roman colony in 138 BC. The city is situated on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, fronting the Gulf of Valencia on the Mediterranean Sea. Its historic centre is one of the largest in Spain, with approximately 169 hectares; this heritage of ancient monuments, views and cultural attractions makes Valencia one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. Major monuments include Valencia Cathedral, the Torres de Serrans, the Torres de Quart, the Llotja de la Seda (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996), and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences), an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. The Museu de Belles Arts de València houses a large collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, including works by Velázquez, El Greco, and Goya, as well as an important series of engravings by Piranesi. The Institut Valencià d'Art Modern (Valencian Institute of Modern Art) houses both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art and photography.

1927 Straube Player Piano Plays "Valencia"
My Straube plays Ampico Roll: 207521-E "Valencia", A Song of Spain. YaY! It took me 3 years, piece by piece and with great guidance from a few of the best piano technicians in Denver, the player mechanism has been completely redone. The piano itself has had the soundboard resurfaced and refinished, new pins and strings. All in all it's about 90% restored, all that is left is new hammers and action regulation that will happen this fall. Enjoy!

From out in the hall, she said We can't go on like this anymore, not at all So why don't you crawl into bed turn out the light and away from it all, So what did you want me to say, I just don't feel like that anymore, not at all, Wait in the dark, stand in the hall, I was afraid she'd never call, But I want her to stay up for the whole night And if we touch after I'm wake, you feel the mound, I never say And I want her to stay up for the whole night, This is it don't make me wait, This is it don't make me wait, This is it don't make me wait, you're saving up for tomorrow, And I say it's too late, This is it don't make me wait, This is it don't make me wait, This is it don't make me wait, you're saving up for tomorrow and I say it's Too late,
