    Yeah... I'd keep my nickel. I think the violin needs a tuning.

    Saw something similar in NOLA recently - piano with 3 violins that needed tuning - big bucks.

    Would rather keep the 1913 5c.

    The nickel would sure be easier to store. :D

    There was one of these on an episode of American Pickers... The owner said it technically was one of the first computers... And that there were probably around 100 remaining... He didn't sell

    Successful trades.... MichaelDixon,

    Remarkable innovation in that era.

    Interesting, but terrible music... the violin is way out of tune.... Cheers, RickO

    A really good song, a cool invention, but out of tune especially on the high notes.

    ...and that is the beauty of this machine. If it sounded like Perlman at the Met, the charm would be gone.

    Our friend/neighbor has some of those... like, a lot.

    Then again, he has a train, a carousel, a three story pipe organ in his house.

    Quite something being in his house which is now open for tours.

    What better than PEACHES to accompany the dulcet tones of a fine anteek hurdy gurdy?

    Geez, I'm glad I tossed that shirt.

    Oh wait.... traded it. For a nickel.
