17 inch Britannia, Smokers cabinet style. Presented in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Double comb, with the best configuration of duplex on the treble and main melody, switching to alternate strike on the bottom end the larger teeth designed to give a bit more Oomph to the base.
Ingenious technical aspect to the motor on this box. It enjoys a unique twin spring set up, the second hiding, under-slung, below the bottom plate. When the first spring is fully wound, the second automatically comes into play. Resulting in an exceptionally long duration of play. Rare machine, beautifully voiced & bursting with innovation.
