Just about the coolest machine I have ever seen. I have been into Victrolas for many years never ran across this machine ty for a brilliant demonstration.

Restoring one right now. The action is currently disassembled, rebuilding the butts and replacing the hammers. Lots of works ahead!

The Violin part actually works like a Hurdy Gurdy because it has these bow Wheels which spin to bow the strings. On the neck of the Violin there are mechanical tangents that press on the strings to change their pitch.

Very informative video on a piece of mechanical musical genius that hopefully will never be forgotten.

I think it would sound better on a Viola, this is playing in the screechy range of the violin

I have the companion machine to the Violano...the Mills Magnetic Expression Piano. The machine operates on the same electrical principle...rather than the 44 note piano...it has 64 notes, with the same symmetrical string layout. There was also a "race horse" feature...which was a belt driven set of four mini race horse figurines. This was to get around certain gambling laws...was classified as a "musical instrument"!

Very great machine, which simulates real violin including sound modulation. I heard machines with "violin" voice such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHq3m3qHi9enbpY and kzbin.info/www/bejne/enuTgnZsncdpns0 which has quite similar violin sound but substantially different violin sound emitting principle, where is not similar to any string instrument (violin, viola, cello).

I might suggest voicing the piano down, it is overwhelming the violin.
