[78-L] [Fwd: [88sOn78s] Winifred Christie on the Moor duplex piano]

[joe@salerno.com]

 From the 88s on 78s list, Greg Benko has informed me:

Some members might be interested to see a video that a friend has
created, a mini-dccumentary to accompany the recording of Winifred
Christie playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on her husband
Emanuel Moor's invention, the duplex piano - two keyboards allowed
ease in playing octaves. The piano was featured in an article in the
New York Times a few months ago. This video also has interesting
views of a Capehart 78 rpm player playing the recording - fascinating
to watch the mechanical behemoth turn the record over.

Of course on this list the interesting thing will be the Capehart.
