Orchestrion Weber Grandezza Nickelodeon piano Utrecht STP Museum

A 1920s-built Weber Grandezza Orchestrion featuring piano and xylophone working pneumatically from a long-play rewindable paper roll, at Utrecht's Speelklok tot Pierement mechanical music museum.
It is filmed here playing a tune from 1929 called 'My Mother's Eyes', a nice jolly little number, helped along by the great arranging which Weber were known for.
