This is a very rare and special full orchestral interchangeable antique music box, made in Switzerland in c. 1870. It features a set of three Mandarin automata strikers, as well as fine quality combs and a first-class mechanism. The movement has been fully serviced and is in excellent condition. It features 6 rack-mounted saucer bells struck by 3 Mandarin automata strikers, who each nod as they strike in time with the music. There is also a drum with 8 beaters, a castanet with 8 beaters, and an unusually large 33-note organ section. These can all be disengaged at will.
