Indeed, Being the one on the back doing strange things, I ended up fixing mechanical musical instruments for work 😂!

That is a wonderful piece of machinery, and I am sitting with a big silly smile, thanks for uploading!

Such a smart instrument ! Cette vidéo mérite encore plus de likes. Un rouet musical, ça n’est pas commun, et la musique est si jolie. On dirait bien qu’il peut faire d’autres musiques. Quel instrument incroyable, c’est un bijou de technologie.

[@o-benone5435]

@@sebastiencolomb2271 il y a en effet plusieurs mélodies.

What an absolutely gorgeous instrument! Thanks for sharing this with the world!

Has anyone ever tried using it as a spinning wheel, since that mechanism appears intact? It just needs a bobbin.

[@o-benone5435]

So far no one try, maybe the www.musicmecalesgets.org/ where the instrument is, may try one day ! I will be curious too !

Would this have been actually used for spinning seriously or is it just a novelty?

[@o-benone5435]

Well, from the size of the instrument, it look like this was made for kids, as toys or novelty. But, but I was told that "the spinning" is fully functional and it looks like it was used some time in his past. About spinning seriously, I believe that the family that can afford this kind of spinning wheel don't need their kids do it for leaving.

The load was more than they could bear. No usury

[@Cor-kid]

imagine using a loom at it makes silly music everytime.

[@vogtland-hobbybeikonbach9057]

Ist das Instrument ein Eigenbau aus einem Spinnrad?

[@sablatnic8030]

No, it was built by Theodor Bessler in Alpirsbach, Baden Württemberg in 1830.

[@o-benone5435]

The instrument was made to be a musical spinning wheel from it's conception. But the "organ part" and the "spinning wheel" one could have been produced by two different makers. Only the name of Theodor Bessler was found on the instrument.

[@deanevangelista6359]

Can you spin yarn with that too?

[@o-benone5435]

We haven't try, but from some friends, who had some experience, the spinning wheel elements are fully operational and well build.

[@jimthesoundman8641]

How do you know it was made in 1830?

[@o-benone5435]

We base the datation on the way the instrument was constructed and the few information we found from the maker's stamp found on the instrument.
