It all started with Daniel Imhof and his flute-playing clocks in 1848. In 1874 the Imhof &
Mukle company was established in Vöhrenbach, Black Forest, Germany. Up to around 1900
all Imhof & Mukle instruments used pinned cylinders to play the music. Together with Welte,
they manufactured the most beautiful and huge barrel orchestrions with of course limited
melodies pinned on a barrel. Imhof & Mukle developed their own“Music Leaf System”, which
consisted of a long roll made of tough manila paper wound on a wooden spool, allowing to
play music up to 30 minutes without changing the rolls. The “Tribute” was found in a restau-
rant in Belgium and completely restored by Mike Argain and consist of piano, mandolin,
violin and cornet pipes, xylophone, orchestra bells, cymbal, bass and snare drum. It also has
a tall matching roll cabinet holding 32 long playing Imhof rolls and a smaller one with 16
rolls. The back painted glass with light effects make this instrument a stunning piece in the
collection.
