The Youtube video below explains the music roll operation
This instrument uses brass pipes from a calliope found in New Orleans, USA back in 1950. The instrument was beyond restoration but the pipes were like new, so a new instrument was made using a simular playing system so it could be played by hand (like a piano) or automatically by a paper music roll.
In 2019 we added a midi system made by Klinger Organ co. of Flippin Ar. USA, allowing the instrument to play for many hours without repeating a song, Songs are easily selected and new music is easily obtained at a reasonable price and even "Special" songs can be made for this instrument from a midi keyboard.

7ft.3" long X 59" high to the top of the tallest pipe.
40" high to the top of the keyboard cabinet.
