Sir, you need to tune that violin! My ears are bleeding. For the most part the piano is tuned, but some strings are just a bit out.

I tuned and repaired stuff like this for 30 years
also look up San Sylmar museum of Merle Norman....awesome collection of the best of these playing machines, orchestron ect..

I was trying to work out how it was applying vibrato to the violin, as it can't really roll its "fingers" backwards and forwards, then I saw that the tailpiece was wobbling - maybe that's it?
The bow reels are reminiscent of the mechanism in a hurdy gurdy, which is interesting.
I wonder how good it would sound after a tune, and with the A string on the violin working?
Apparently the House on the Rock in Wisconsin has rooms full of automated instruments like this - such a shame I'm in the UK!

Indeed, vibrato is caused by the tailpiece "wobbling" One trouble with this was that the clip is missing that secures the rosin to the bracket. I will make a new one and I am sure it will play better when the reels can rosin themselves better.
