- A proposito di opere d'arteThe mechanism
The brass mechanism is being driven by a spring barrel with a fixed winding handle and is numbered 14156. The 33-cm wide cylinder plays one of eight airs on a steel comb. There are three operating levers on the right side. The first handle can make the playing stop instantaneously. The second lever is for starting and stopping at the end of the melody. The back lever is for the repeating or changing of the melodies. With the engaging of this lever the music box will play all melodies in sequence and jump back to the first after having played the last melody.
