Fitting look for the museum ...

Not only a pianola, but a string octet as well, plus percussion in there somewhere too! All run from thatscroll of paper centre front. The circular band at centre of violins is the "bow", and spins faster and slower for effect. The violins themselves move outward to touch the bow to play each note, which is determined by the little metal fingers on each violin. Curved cabinet doors close over the violins when not playing. Crikey!
