These small orchestrion-like musical marvels are extremely rare in Europe. In the 1910s, these instruments had their heyday in the USA - the insertion of a 'nickel' (25 cents) brought a piece of music to life, hence the name 'Nickelodeon'. This beautiful piano needs restoration to play and sound as splendid as it did back then. The music rolls for this Nickelodeon contain 10 different pieces of music, so it won't get boring so quickly with a coin insert. There are numerous arranged rolls for these Nickelodeon instruments with great titles, especially from the American dance music of the time.
