Tournaphone Music Roll Player, circa 1880s

Made in Worcester, Massachusetts, walnut with gilt stenciling throughout, the underside of the lid pasted with instructions for playing, adjusting, and storing.

12 x 17-3/4 x 20-1/2 in.

From the Collection of the late John Firenze, Long Island, New York

In good playing order allowing 21st century listeners to hear real honest-to-goodness 19th century sounds.

Working well at present; wear to the gilt; the dampening board with chips to the extremities. Overall very good condition.
