This outstanding Swiss cylinder music box was crafted by the prestigious firm of Le Coultre Freres of Geneva. The highly intricate movement plays a selection of twelve popular tunes with fine and clear sound, including the aria "Non più mesta" from La Cenerentola and "Valzer e Duetto: Che è ciò" from La Traviata. Wound by a lever on the left side, the machine is equipped with a start/stop switch and a change/repeat switch allowing the user to customize the duration of play.
