This is just one of my restored pianos that I would like to sell as I have to make room for another piano.
One of many videos I be listing to show how a fully restored early Bluthner upright plays!
The piano is straight strung and over damped!
Many people view this design as inferior compared to overstrung/underdamped pianos because a lot of furniture manufactures in the early 1900’s decided to try and make pianos with know real knowledge.
With Bluthner’s & Bechstein’s this design and quality often out performs many lesser well known overstrung/underdamped pianos.
I have a lot of other pianos in my collection and over this year I will record how the music sounds on the following: Bluthner Style 7 Aliquot grand, 3 Bluthner uprights, Ibach double overstrung grand, Bechstein model III upright, John Brinsmead 5′ 2″ grand and a Ronish upright.
Thank you for viewing,
Robert

bluthner had a contract with the Hupfeld company. so you could get a Bluthner with a Hupfeld player system in it, 73-note in the beginning or 65-note for abroad where this system was common, later the system played all 88 notes and also combination instrumenst were build.
top of the line was a Lipp or Bluthner grand with Triphonola (pedal & electric) system in it.

Actually, I don’t know. I think it would be best to ask the uploader of this video. I believe they may have made some for a certain model, although not for this one.

Did Bluthner ever make pianos with a player system in them?

I certainly agree with you that any good quality piano including a straight strung, overdamped upright performs better than an inferior quality piano especially an inexpensive spinet. I have a sound file of the “Black Key” Etude played on an 1851 Erard grand. The piano had a nice sound to it. It had some of the sound of a modern Steinway grand.

Yes of course, it’s familiarly known as black keys etude, nothing wrong about that!
