Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina Model B Music Cabinet

This incredible Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violina Model B music cabinet is among the rarest and most advanced automatic music players of its time. The remarkable machine, crafted by the renowned Leipzig firm of Ludwig Hupfeld, is one of the most mechanically complex music players ever made, boasting three self-playing violins accompanied by a self-playing piano. Once made in the thousands to entertain patrons of upscale hotels, restaurants and cafes, these extraordinary machines have become increasingly rare, with only 63 still in existence today.

[@user-xt8gc9sv7o]

This has to be so hard to maintenance.

Hi! I've actually worked on one of these before and am studying the field of mechanical music. They are indeed very hard to work on and troubleshoot, but when they work, they sound amazing! It sounds like this particular one hasn't been tuned in a good while, it could probably use a check up.
