These small orchestrion-like musical marvels are extremely rare in Europe. These instruments had their heyday in the USA in the 1910s – inserting a “nickel” made a piece of music play, hence the name “nickelodeon”. This beautiful piano needs a restoration to play and sound as magnificently as it did back then. The music rolls for this nickelodeon contain 10 different pieces of music, so it does not get boring too quickly with coin operation. There are numerous arranged rolls for these nickelodeon instruments with great titles, above all from the American dance music of the time.
