Blue Danube Waltz Played On 1898 Olympia 15 3/4 Inch Music Box - Johann Strauss Composer

Музыка

Here is our 1898 Olympia 15 3/4 inch Music Box playing the lovely Blue Danube Waltz from 1866 by Johann Strauss. This music box is completely original and has never been restored by anyone - including me. I hope you enjoy this version of Blue Danube Waltz on the Olympia music box here and continue to enjoy my earlier videos of the same tune played on our other disc music boxes. As always, thanks for stopping in for a visit.

    When I was young, about 11 years old back in the early 80's.. My Mom and Grand Parents took me on vacation to DC and one of the stops was the Smithsonian.. Now picture this early 80's 11 year old with long hair and completely into heavy metal. Kiss, ACDC, Iron Maiden, Ozzy,,,, Yep that was me.. And while we were walking around, I came to this small case in the middle of the floor and inside was 3 Stradivarius's that at the time was said to be worth over a million each.. Now I was just blown away at the beauty and craftsmanship, not to mention the price tag. Shortly after we got home from our trip, I asked my mother for a guitar. Something in me changed that day and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Ever since then, I have played guitar and am a huge history buff of just about anything but especially music. This is very very cool... Thank you for sharing. And by, I still play today. Next year will be 40 years and have enough equipment to play any concert hall. LOL. Still love music as much to day if not more than 40 years ago..

    My ex girlfriend's dad has a few music boxes, and he has one that's just like this one, and it plays platters like this one does. It looks almost exactly like this one with one difference. It's coin operated. Apparently it would be the kind of thing that would be in a bar or something. You would put the platter on it, wind it, and put a penny in it to play it. The coin mechanism is so damn simple. It's just a slot with a little lever in it that the coin pushes against as it drops into the wooden coin box. You could shove anything into it to activate it. Her father isn't wealthy either. He's actually lower middle class. It's just that he comes from a family of hoarders, and throughout the ages, they never threw anything out or sold anything. He has TWO original Edison Gramophones with three boxes of wax cylinders for them, a giant folded horn Victrola and a whole shelf of records for it. And he has two giant music boxes. One is that coin operated one, which he has boxes of those metal platters to play on it. And the other is this giant box with a glass front, and super complex looking clockwork inside. That one has several levers on it that if you put the levers in different combinations of positions, it plays different songs.

His daughter got him on an episode of either Hoarders, Buried alive, (and of course, they framed the episode that it was his daughter who was the one with the problem. She got a LOT of flack from the public because of how they edited it.) or the other one. He was one of the failures. He to this day refuses to admit that he has a problem. When his mother died, her house was just as packed as his. And I tried to help clean out the house. He wouldn't let me throw anything away. At the time, he had no money and was on the verge of losing his own house, and instead of selling or getting rid of all that antique stuff, he paid for a storage facility to move everything that was in the house into. And the man had this kind of... radar. If I threw ANYTHING out, even if it was a tiny, insignificant thing, he would know about it, like he had this "Item in the trash radar". I tried getting rid of stuff in drawers and from under piles that he couldn't possibly have even seen into, but somehow... he knew! And that damn house was just like his. All damn antiques and strange stuff that could have been worth tons of money. Hoarding is definitely genetic and it was passed on through generations of his family. Luckily, it seems that his daughters don't have the gene.

    This brought me to tears. How could I NOT listen to this perfect piece of history? My body tingled from the pitch and I was instantly reminded of something I heard about music recently. That "they" changed the hertz in our music from healing frequencies to harmful frequencies and I thought that this piece of music would have been in the true, healing frequency and that could be why it instantly made my body tingle and made my tv sound like it had the best sound on the planet but it has mediocre speakers. Makes me think there is something to the frequency thing. Thank you so for sharing what you do.
