Kalliope plays "Wacht am Rhein".
12 saucer bells 64,5cm (~26"), 158 teeth
like Polyphon, Stella, Regina, Antique Musicbox
This is my first video upload and it was only a "testrun". In a few days I will upload this video with better sound quality and with a few changes so you can see the whole musicbox. It is a really nice and well playing piece of history.
I will post bit by bit more videos of my collection of mechanical music instruments...
See you soon.
Cheers,
Chris

In better times, I bought this exact music box at auction, with the matching base and 18 discs. It had been meticulously restored, and played as new. That same year, I bought a Kia Optima EX, v6, absolutely loaded, 42 miles, leather power seats, dual climate control, sunroof, cruise, everything you can imagine except the heated seats and satellite radio. I paid $400 more for the music box than I did for that new car.

Ah what a wonderful melody :) So beautiful to my ears infact, I even wrote my own text to it, Czech and monarchist themed naturally. Anyways I absolutely love all the music box renditions of this song, while it is a defensive militant patriotic song, the music box makes it sound so cute (like anything else really) which is a rather interesting combination that I absolutely love.

"Wacht am Rhein" was Kalliopes melody Nr -221, but the disc shows (10)085. Kalliope -085 was used for "Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo", and ""Ihr Kinderlein Kommet". Are you filming another disc, or is 10.085 correct number? . I hope in the future you will add the numbers to your fine recordings. Roland von Malmborg, Sweden

Roland von Malmborg Hello Roland, indeed the video was made with another disc and I added the tune later. I will try to remember to include the disc numbers (often I already did) in my new videos. I tried to contact you via youtube and email a couple times. Is there a chance to get a copy of your disc directory? Regards, Chris

Hi Chris, I am fascinated by your Kalliope. Is it really your own? Kalliopes in this size are really rare. If you look onto my channel, you'll see, that I also have 2 Kalliopes, but smaller. I will upload more in the next days. - Best regards from JochenKopf, also from Germany
