Catalogue Illustration of a
Philipps Pianella Modell 3
Paganini Geigen Piano
Circa 1912 catalogue illustration. Although the Philipps catalogue shows this instrument as a Paganini orchestrion, some purists may like to argue that this particular Paganini modell should never be termed an orchestrion, having only a piano, harmonium, violin, and flageolet pipes. Philipps nevertheless did often designate it as such. Certainly, though, the larger Paganini instruments with a full orchestral range of voices and extensive trapwork were true orchestrions. Height: 9 ft. 2 in. |
