I have to say this is a really terrific-sounding orchestrion, and thanks for the great post! The expression effects, phrasing, and tremolo are wonderful! The arranging is top-notch! Thanks!!!
@pianoman1984 Yes, Paganini ORCHESTRION (with drums and things). There are a few smaller paganini violin pianos (with and without keyboard) around which are largely, or entirely, original.
The monstre paganini in the Krughoff collection is a re-creation by the Mechanisches Musikkabinett staff using some original Paganini orchestrion parts found in amongst the stuff of a collector/hoarder in Hungary. It is more a sensitive re-creation than an exact replica since no original monstre is known.
Magnificect Instrument, If this is the only remaining totally original Paganini it would be interesting to know its history and how it came to the museum?
The 3rd piece is 'Who (Stole My Heart Away)?'. From 'Sunny', by Jerome Kern, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, c.1925. George Olsen and his Orchestra had a million-selling hit with the song, in that year.

This is a Philipps Paganini orchestrion (model 14 I think) the only completely original paganini surviving
