FS: Sallaz & Oboussier Grand Format Cylinder Box
By Mark Singleton

Recently surfaced, for sale: an original and desirable Grand Format
cylinder box by Sallaz & Ouboussier, circa 1860, playing eight airs
as listed on the original tune sheet.

Cylinder approx. 17 x 3.5 inches, brass bedplate, lever wound, three
control levers, approx. 24 inches wide.  101-tooth comb is complete
except for one tip missing from extreme bass tooth.  The inlaid case
is superb and in original condition.  Overall extremely good condition,
but would most probably benefit from a repin, due to a few bent pins.
Photo file available on request.

Thank you
Mark Singleton, UK
