  • Very nice restoration job! Is the tune Charles Ives' Variations on America?

  • Sorry but I don't know. there is no way of identifying. On the lid of the instrument it just has tune names. This was just God save the King

  • Was this made by Henry Holland too?

  • @acoustics101 The tune "America" is actually a direct use of the British national anthem "God save the queen".

  • how many keys does it have? Do I hear a glockenspeil ?

  • Good organ grinding! 

  • @EvilCensor YES...naughty indeed! I agree.

  • @acoustics101: The music is the English national anthem - "God Save the King", once popular in the US, then given new words in the 1800's by Samuel Smith (My Country 'Tis of Thee), which was kind of naughty.

    A couple of people in my school... It's ODD.

  • @Wurlitzer157 WHo told you to ?

  • @anglerfly

    I saw charlie the Unicorn once, because people told me too and they TAKE these tunes, the candy mountain song is the Clarinet Polka.

  • @anglerfly

    ... No .... I've heard it plenty of times it's a religious song.
