Beschreibung:

In 1905 or 06, Mills Novelty Company launched the "Automatic Virtuoso", and the Mills Violano-Virtuoso was born. It was in the early 1920's when Mills developed the Deluxe Violano-Virtuoso where a second violin was added, not to accompany the first violin, but to play simultaneously, thus increasing the volume and expression of the violin while playing. The instrument came in many styles, and this Deluxe Violano, Serial No. 3068, is housed in a mahogany case and is in operating condition. The case is complete and the top has had some staining and veneer loss in several places. Mechanically the instrument plays and has been through a complete roll and rewind since in our possession. This deluxe Violano is in great condition for its age and would be greatly enhanced with a basic restoration. Comes with 6 Rolls. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Very Good). Item Dimensions: 69 - 1/2" x 48 - 1/2" x 35 - 1/2".
