The only parallel I know of is a Mills Double Violon, which is similar to the machine you talk about. The recordings I’ve heard are all very “liberal” about the tuning, which makes them a lot of fun. Reminds me of growing up in Santa Cruz, CA. The Ruth Band Organ at the Carousel was only tuned at the beginning of the season. Months later, it had drifted into atonal territory. No wonder I grew to like the avant-garde. If you look around used record places, you can find many recordings of old automatic music instruments, few of which were updated to CD. I have a fairly wide collection, which were obtainable for comparatively little money. Thanks for sharing!
