Unusual Orchestrion in New Zealand
By Ron Newton

Hi everyone,  In January this year I posted some pictures of an
unusual orchestrion here in New Zealand [160107 MMDigest].  After
having a close look today I am certain it was built as a barrel
orchestrion, with 36 piano notes, 12 glockenspiel notes, and perhaps
a rank or two of pipes, and percussion.

I have also found a photograph of a very similar instrument sold by
Skinner Auctioneers in November 2005.  Would any readers have any
knowledge as to this instrument?

Many thanks,
Ron Newton
