...it was converted to use "M" rolls (used by Cremona orchestrions) and the result is what you can see and hear today. For more on the banjorchestra, see: www(dot)dcramey(dot)com/HistoryofBanjo-Orchestra(dot)html
This orchestrion has an interesting history. Originally, it was an Engelhardt "Banjorchestra" with piano, banjo, and percussion. Sometime in the '50's, the banjo was removed and 2 ranks of pipes and a bass drum were added...
I have been there yesterday, nice collection. Pitty that I discovered just one day before my return to Holland...! Bought the cd's as souvenir.
