BEAUTIFUL STAFFORD NICKELODEON/ORCHESTRION

BEAUTIFUL STAFFORD NICKELODEON/ORCHESTRION This beautiful looking and sounding machine is known as an orchestrion. In part because it is very much like an orchestra in that so many different musical devices are involved. In this case flute pipes, bass drum, cymbal, snare drum, tambourine, wood block, piano of course and perhaps most importantly, accordion. Very rarely do you ever find orchestrions with an accordion. This beautiful machine is a conversion from a genuine antique player piano that, at a much later date was built into an orchestrion and at that time all of these musical devices were added. It has a beautifully fabricated oak case in excellent refinished condition, which has been fitted with lovely leaded stained glass panels depicting trees, clouds, rolling hills and a girl playing the flute. Some of the clear glass, together with the illumination inside, makes it possible to view the musical instruments while the music is playing. Also suspended from each side are small stained glass lamps. The machine is sold with six additional contemporary-style “O” rolls. SIZE: 67″w x 80″ h x 31″d. CONDITION: With the exception of a couple of minor nicks or dings, the oak case is in generally excellent condition with a very nice finish. Piano and all musical instruments play. Stained glass is in very good condition. 1-588 9,000-11,000)
