Five Reasons To Add Mechanical Music To Your Collection

Perhaps you're a collector of vintage cars, steam locomotives and engines, or late 19th to early 20th century art and furniture? Are you a connoisseur of "The Gilded Age", "The Roaring Twenties", or the incredible Worlds Fairs and exhibitions of over a century ago?


All of these things have something in common - they're related to the wonderful hobby of mechanical music!

Below, I'm going to outline five reasons as to why your collection can benefit from one or more band organs, orchestrions, coin pianos, and violin machines!


Reason 1: They're Assets You Can Always Enjoy

There are music machines for any price range from the humble player piano to elaborate orchestrions with pipes, drums, and the ability to play the most complex musical scores. Once an instrument is restored - you can always enjoy it without the worry of damaging your piece. How does one enjoy a car, after all? You drive it - and every second can be "I hope nothing scratches the paint". Wise collectors generally don't use their cars much over the winter considering the dangers of snow and road salt. A music machine is ready to entertain you and your friends year round without an off-season!

Reason 2: A Music Machine Exists For Every Space

Reason 3: Music Was Made For All Tastes - And Is Still Made Today

Reason 4: Automatic Musical Instruments Reflect The Art And Culture Of Their Time

Reason 5: It's The Most Unique Hobby You Can Delight Others With

Convinced? A picture paints a thousand words, but music is even better. Make sure to take a look at the Virtual Museum and listen to what these instruments can do!


Then, when you're ready - Instruments For Sale can be the first step of expanding your collection to "The Happiest Music On Earth"!
