It looks like something out of a steampunk sci fi movie. All moving mechanical parts come to life to play incredible music from both of these violins at once! But this is no sci fi prop. This machine not only works, but it was made to play this music before music was so easily accessible. Think about it. Before machines like this, the only way to hear music was to learn to play an instrument or find some talented friends!
This rare machine was made by the Mills company in Chicago in the early 1900's, and the sound is so amazing, you could swear you were being serenaded by live musicians if you couldn't see the machine playing. See it with your own eyes at the American Treasure Tour!
