Wonderful and rare automaton ebonised boxed Piano by Fratelli Elba.

C.1906, Italian 20 cent play, playing ten airs on one large cylinder, with tambourine, triangle and cymbal.

Due to being transported recently this piece will require tuning but it is not any more in depth than normal piano tuning… The mechanism is free and running well but again would benefit from a clean and good oiling.

Cylinder Measurement:
Cylinder: 15 inch diameter x 57 inches long

Piano:
5ft 5 inches (L) x 2ft 2 inches (W) x 5ft 3 inches (H)


Collection only! Extremely heavy piece
