  • @Yaledmot I could be wrong, but I don't think either the Erato or Venezia originally had swell shades. I think they were added by the museum staff, like on the Philipps model 10 Pianella in other videos posted by this Youtube enthusiast.

  • Can anybody tell me the song title?

  • I assume the original swell shades were wood?

  • The other known Erato (the one in the Venezia #2 case) has a really beautiful case design and can be seen at about 6:46 in the video

    "Im Schwarzwaldmuseum Triberg (2)"

    although it does not play in this video. It would be nice to see and hear it play.

  • The two Eratos I know of are this one (with a standard Erato case design) in Wilhelmsbau at the Technik-Museum Speyer; and the other (which is built into a Venezia #2 case) in the Black Forest Museum in Triberg, I believe. The only known Venezia (case design #1) is located in the US, currently unrestored and for sale.

  • Fascinating orchestrion! I love the musical arrangements too! As far as I know, Weber only made two orchestrions which play the Erato roll: the Erato (piano, reiterating mandolin, xylophone, drums, cymbal triangle), and the Venezia (same instrumentation as Erato minus the xylophone). Each was made in about 3 case designs. I know of two Eratos and one Venezia in existence. The rolls must be very rare.

  • the music sounds almost like something

    that could be used in a cartoon.
