GIROD DUCOMMON PIANO FORTE CYLINDER MUSIC BOX
C. 1880, Girod Ducommon Switzerland. A wonderful example of a piano forte cylinder music box by Ducoomon, playing a 16" cylinder with six tunes. It has the serial number 33121. It shows two complete combs with no breaks or repairs. It is marked on the bedplate for Ducommon. It is key-wind operation in a Brazilian mahogany cabinet with a metal inlay. There are some scuffs and scrapes, primarily from age and handling to the cabinet. There is an area to the lid where the metal inlay has begun to lift.
