Seeburg J orchestrion in the Bale of Hay Saloon, Virginia City, Montana, in 1960.
The Seeburg Model J orchestrion located in the Bale of Hay Saloon in Virginia City, Montana, in 1960. Note the beautiful capitol dome art-glass. Harvey and Marion Roehl traveled each summer and visited many mechanical music collections all over the world. One of their favorite stops was the Bovey Restoration at Virginia City and Nevada City, Montana, the lifetime restoration project of Charley and Sue Bovey, where a large collection of coin pianos, orchestrions, and band organs could be seen and played by the public. Sitting on top of the Seeburg J orchestrion is a Deagan Una-Fon, an electro-mechanically operated set of orchestral bells.
