Music Roll Mechanism

Single music roll mechanism in the restored Phonoliszt-Violina.

Single Music Roll Mechanism in the Hupfeld Model B Phonoliszt-Violina. By means of a lever situated on top of the tracker bar (behind the music roll paper and not visible) the instrument can play either Phonoliszt rolls (piano only) or Phonoliszt-Violina rolls (piano and violin). The various emblems decorating the roll case mechanism frontispiece have not been identified.

The brass inlay located just below the music roll take-up spool reads: "Hof Pianoforte-Fabrikant -- Sr.K.K.H.d.Kronprinzen."
