Description
25 ¼” Symphonion Disc Music Box with great provenance.
This fine quality music box spent its life at the top of the Grand Staircase, in the famous Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. It was removed in 1958. It still retains the repository stickers and sales invoice.
The movement plays on four combs, diagonally opposed and placed in pairs, which produces a sublime harmony sound. The large spring motor has a top wind mechanism – the best design for a large music disc box.
The case and movement have just been professionally restored and it plays exceptionally well. (Those of you who came to my house for the MBSGB meeting this year would have seen and heard it).
A good collection of discs, including a few new reproduction ones accompany this machine. (Discs that have a number starting with 85## play on this model).
