Description:
MIDI Decap "Double Tino" orchestrion automata with original figures by J. Bodson. The accordion player was made in the likeness of famed 1920s Italian jazz artist Tino Rossi, with an accompanying drummer/percussionist. As far as we know only 5 "Double Tinos" have survived. The two figures are original, but the original paper roll mechanism by Kuhl & Klatt (Bodson) has been replaced by the high tech self-playing accordion and percussion set made by Decap. This modernized instrument has MIDI playback offering huge music library and ease of use. Height: 185 cm. Width: 170 cm. Depth: 120 cm. Condition: Excellent. Location: The Netherlands, Tilburg.
