An incredible Wurlitzer orchestrion, equipped to play flute pipes, piano, mandolin, triangle, and base and snare drums. In total, there are 76 pipes, and unlike any band organs of its time, this orchestrion can play a multitude of tunes, switching music rolls through the automatic rolls changer. It is housed in a fine oak cabinet with elegant carved details, beautiful original stained glass windows and a remade revolving "Wonderlight" displaying a colorful light show as the music plays. It was manufactured by Wurlizter between 1913 and 1924. The story on this Wurlitzer BX is that it was originally sold to a river boat that sank, the orchestrion was salvaged from the wreck and meticulously restored back to its original glory; folklore maybe, but this example is in restored condition, the roll changer works, and - with a little tune up to the piano - will sound just stunning.
