A luxurious 6 bell music box made by Cuendet in around 1890.
The beautifully made case houses a quality 20 air 6 bell musical movement. The tune programme has been perfectly selected to demonstrate the 6 bell movement, featuring decorative butterfly and insect strikers that strike the tuned bells enhancing the overall experience. The bells can be de-selected at will by the listener if so desired, leaving the comb to play unaccompanied. The tune programme consists mostly of well known popular airs of the day, which are perfectly demonstrated by this machine. Excellent tonal quality and perfect musical timing makes for the authentic Victorian musical box listening experience.
Both Movement and case have been restored to the very highest of standards.
