With drum. This amazing piece was made by the firm "Ami Rivenc" in Switzerland circa 1885 to 1890. This is the true and final incarnation of what was known as the "Orchestral" style music box. The six cylinders play a total of 48 songs all listed on the original framed tune label. The wonderful and unique tone is created by the use of six tuned bells, a drum, Castignettes, and a 22 note full Reed Organ. The restoration on the exquisite piece has just been completed, and it sounds and looks fantastic.
Condition: (Excellent).
