Dutch painter Maurice Delmonte has cramped painting style But its not his brush strokes that are cramped Its his posi tion Delmonte who began painting in the last three years squeezes his fivefoot 11inch frame into clear plexiglass box with 19inch sides and paints through small square hole in one side Painting is something to fall back on in my old age says the 48yearold contortionist In the last 20 years Delmonte says he has been comedian magician juggler ven triloquist and even highwire artist But first and foremost he has been contorting his flexible body into positions that amaze onlookers In an interview during holi day at his brothers Winnipeg home Delmonte said he started using box to spice up his stage show about 12 years ago At first he sealed himself into the box and was lowered into large clear tank filled with water and goldfish TOO DANGEROUS Donna Summer hits available Player pianos ioin the disco generation By COREY SANDLER BUFFALO NY AP What would grandma say if she heard her Old player piano banging out Saturday Night Fe ver to disco beat How about an Elvis Presley medley 0r YMCA complete with lyrics for singalong At QRS Player Rolls in Buf falo theyre still cranking out punchedpaper rolls 750000 year to tinkle the keys of player pianos And though some of the tunes hark back to the 19205 heyday of the players newer titles in clude the latest Donna Summer disco hit The company founded in 1900 is the only survivor of about 25 US player pianoroll companies which existed before the Depression It has library of about 3000 titles QRSs output has increased in recent years although it still is well below the record level of nearly 11 million rolls sold in 1926 The company now sees modest resurgence of interest with rolls going both to still functioning antiques and mod emday models DROPPED TO TRICKLE During the Depression pro duction of player pianos dropped to trickle and ceased altogether for 20year period from the 19305 until the 19505 Several companies now produce about 15000 player pianos each year As long as there are pianos sold percentage will be player pianos says Ramsi Tick president of QRS Tick former manager of the Buffalo Philharmonic says he was fascinated with the pianos as youngster He bought the company in 1966 and moved it to Buffalo Annual sales are just under $1 million he says Several com panies have reentered the player pianoroll business in re cent years but according to Tick his company has well over 90 per cent of the market Tick calls the player piano recreational device for those who like to sing along with mu 510 Player pianos work by read ing the punches in paper roll On an oldfashioned player someone must pump footoperated bellows to make the music play The bellows provides suction for vacuum system whch moves the keys Newer pianos use an electric motor The rolls themselves which sell for about $3 to $6 are made in one of two ways either direct transcription Of par ticular artist or an arranged recording made by specially trained musician The arranged piano rolls are the ones which seem to defy hu man abilities The keys seem to be played by whole squads of pianists The trick involves the pains water but that was too dangerous he says Delmonte has been painting for three years CP Photo After three years he decided that was too dangerous and over his managers protests changed the act pulling boa constrictor into the box with him The crowds loved it Del monte says until about five years ago when the snake wrapped itself around Del monte After the eightfoot reptile had squeezed his legs for about an hour an expert from zoo arrived bringing the incident to safe close Finally he began to paint taking recording of piece of music note by note using me chanical fingers to hold keys down Recording an arranged piano roll can takeup to eight hours for fourminute roll QRS also sells piano rolls which are reproductions Of per formances by name artists in cluding Eubie Blake Earl Hines Peter Duchin and Peter Nero from inside the box Exercise and concentration are the keys Delmonte says adding that he exercises at least three times day And think about it all the time the whole day he says Delmonte says he doesnt know when he will quit When was 26 they said could go on for long time When was 30 they said Id have to quit tomorrow When was 36 they said Maurice Del monte hes finished Now Im 48 and am still going CANNOT PLAY BACK The player piano cannot play back song with all of the nuances and expression of live performance but can duplicate the technique and rhythm Of particular player More sophisticated devices called reproducing pianos have been manufactured but never reached wide audiences HIT THE WHEELS Fri Set Evenings Double Sessions
