Pictures below show the facade before selecting the color. The color selected was chosen for the many lighting effects that we have incorporated into this instrument. All lighting is by LED low voltage (5Volt DC) available from Amazon. We have also included spare systems for future needs.

This allows for single play of any of the 245+ midi songs or sequential continuous play, random continuous play, repeat play etc. Also special play lists can be created of your favorite songs or all Foxtrots etc.
This is an instrument that has a lot of history especially for Canadians.
Originally created at the work shops of world famous Decap Bros of Antwerpen Belgium to be used in the traveling dance palaces of the 1920's.
Re stored in the 1950 by Decap Bros. and brought to Canada by a new Canadian
It was used at Niagara Falls, Ontario for many years in a major brewers Beer tent
It was found in a barn close to Smithville (about 20 miles from Niagara in 2019.
I brought it home and work to bring it back to it's original 1920's appearance and sound began. I know Roger Mossman/Decap and visited him in 2022 to obtaine detailed information on what the facade probably looked like. Only the two end sections with the large columns remained with the instrument. To see the restoration work involved to date March 2024 please visit this page
