This very rare early mechanical piano/zither has been re-strung and is played by cranking, which in turn, rotates discs much like a Regina music box. It is very rare and looks just like a miniature baby grand piano. There are 22 tune discs included-eleven are in excellent condition and another eleven which need or have repairs(and in most cases play). When I had the strings replaced, I had two sets made because of the expensive set-up and thought it wise to have an extra set. I would prefer not to ship this item, however, the legs are removable and it would be possible. The original tuning tool is included. This is a great piece of mechanical music history over 100 years old.Please ask all questions before bidding. I do not ship outside of the lower 48 states.BUYER TO PAY ALL COSTS FOR SHIPPING & INSURANCE.
