Exceptional and Rare Symphonion Music Box.
This stunning and highly rare Symphonion music box is a true masterpiece, famously known as the “Symphonion Eroica”. Its unique mechanism plays three discs simultaneously, combining to form one harmonious melody. The system features three synchronized mechanisms of the Symphonion with a disc diameter of 34 cm.
A major advantage of this design is its expansive keyboard of 300 notes, delivering an exceptionally rich and refined sound. Powered by two robust motors, the mechanism operates reliably, providing a remarkable listening experience.
The included photographs form an integral part of the description and condition report. A rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of mechanical music.

Swiss Station Cylinder Music Box
Located in New Orleans, LA
Tiny dancers twirl to the melodious tunes produced by this Swiss station cylinder music box. The cylinder is joined by a drum and bells that give richness and depth to the wonderful music the box creates. Music boxes were at the height of fashion in the late 19th century and served as a status symbol for the European gentry. Switzerland was the birthplace of cylinder music boxes and home to the great majority of the most renowned manufacturers. This example, in its finely crafted English walnut case, boasts two combs, allowing the box to play in harmony for a richer, more complex song.
This particular style, commonly referred to as a “station” or “showcase” box, was used to entertain guests in hotel lobbies, train stations and other similar public places, and as such would have been coin-operated. This example, however, does not accept coins. This, combined with its overall quality, complexity and beauty, indicates it was made for a private household of significant means. Today, these ingenious musical masterpieces are highly sought-after by collectors of musical automata...
