Early Seeburg Style J Orchestrion |
This early case style of the J orchestrion with capitol building art glass was second only to the Seeburg H in size, and almost as ornate. It plays H rolls on the same instrumentation as in an H, but without the drums and cymbal. The smaller Style J in the Peerless Wisteria case (also shown in this gallery) was introduced a few years later. |
Interior of the early style J showing ranks of harmonic flute pipes (front) and violin pipes (rear), large-scale xylophone as in most Style H orchestrions, with the triangle at the upper right and the castanets hidden by the right end of the xylophone bars. The pressure reservoir is mounted above the pinblock behind the xylophone. |
