  • Notes
  • The Swiss firm Miraphone was a noted manufacturer of musical boxes from the middle of 19th century: in this machine the device for mechanical music is augmented to include a record player, by mounting a disc player and a horn.

    La fabbrica Svizzera Miraphone nota dalla metà dell'800 come produttore di carillon unì in questa macchina la possibilità di fare musica meccanica o, montando piatto e tromba, passare all'ascolto i dischi.

    Description of the device written by Mr. Marco Contini, as well as in the brochure.
