Symphonion Music Box
By Marty Roenigk
Gerry Bay inquired about a 15" disc Symphonion. Symphonion was one of the top 3 or 4 manufacturers of disc music boxes, but is generally not as favorably considered as the Regina and Polyphon brands. It is, however, a fine make. The question is regrettably too broad - music box valuations are dependent on a multitude of things including condition, style of case, single or double comb, etc., etc.
If the Symphonion that Gerry is looking at is a 15-1/2-inch with double combs, and in excellent original condition with a reasonably pretty case, then it is probably worth around $4000 at retail.
