| The American Fotoplayer : ウィキペディア英語版 | The American Fotoplayer The American Fotoplayer is a type of photoplayer developed by the American Fotoplayer Company between the years of 1912 and 1925.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Victorian era light fixtures reproductions/restorations )〕 The Fotoplayer is a type of player piano specifically developed to provide music and sound effects for silent movies. ==History== Before movies had sound, it was discovered that playing background music during a film could aid in developing a particular mood for a certain scene. Initially, small theatres would use player pianos to produce music automatically from piano rolls. After some time, some of these pianos were extended in size with pipe organs and sound effects inserted into large cabinets connected to the sides of the piano. The user of this new contraption, which became known as the photoplayer, could then create multiple sounds to match the actions on screen. Between 8,000 and 12,000 of these musical instruments were made between 1910 and 1928, with the American Fotoplayer Company's Fotoplayer being of the most popular brands. When sound films were first created in the late 1920s, the Fotoplayer became unnecessary. Therefore the American Fotoplayer Company ceased production of their product in 1925. Of the thousands of American Fotoplayers made, fewer than 50 survive today, and of those only 12 are known to still be playable.〔
