Only 4,000 to 5,000 of these Mills Violano-Virtuoso music machines were made, this one made after 1912. It is a stunning piece of work featuring 1 interior light, a 4-panel front glass divider and a deep quartered oak cabinet gleaming with brass hardware. There are 44 inner piano keys with the viola magnificently sitting at the center, all 4 strings still nicely attached. Invented by Henry. K Sandell, the Violano-Virtuoso plays perforated music rolls. Minimal wear, seen only at the base. Overall in very beautiful condition. This instrument needs to be tuned and the weights on the strings adjusted to work perfectly. Serial No. 2933. With keys. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Very Good). Item Dimensions: 64 - 1/2" x 43" x 30". Name Value Keys Yes
