This is a early Mills Violano. Just completed restoration and will be fine tuning it the next couple of weeks but thought Id list a couple of videos anyway. Enjoy
That really is incredible. I've also listened to quite a few recordings of these machines but never heard a sound like this. My appreciation of the technology has been raised ten notches.
The goal of a Violano Restoration is clear, pure, and round tones from each violin note. The goal has been reached in this instrument! Robert in this restoration of a Mills Violino has achieved the elusive musical zenith sought by every Mills Violano owner and restorer! From now on he will be the envy of everyone professional or not who has every attempted to make a Violano "SING"! Bravo Robert!!!!!

I agree!!! This is a really sweet-sounding Violano!
You must have the ear of a musician to get all the subtleties right like here!
Are you a musician? If not, you should be!

That has to be the Best Violano I have ever heard. Bravo Roberts Restorations. If they all sounded that great, more people would want to own them.
Yes, pookie, there are actually two machines. This one and the Hupfeld Phonolist Violino.
Enjoy
