Instruments

listen and enjoy

Active from ancient times
A number of musical instruments that play beautiful tones

such as self-playing musical instruments that produce various tones with a single device and classical music boxes with delicate tones.
We will exhibit selected masterpieces from the Huis Ten Bosch collection.

Unique and powerful orchestrion

Phonolist Violina

An "orchestrion" is an automated musical instrument that incorporates multiple musical instruments into a single device and produces various tones as if playing an orchestra. Most of them were manufactured in Germany and the United States from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, and are often installed in bars and dance halls where people gather. It seems that some of them were posted. Huis Ten Bosch 's collection of Violina is an automated musical instrument with three violins on an upright piano, and the existing one is a valuable instrument with about 60 pieces.

Enjoy the delicate tone

Classical music box

The music box, which we are particularly familiar with among auto-playing instruments, was created by the Swiss watchmaker Antoine Fabre about 200 years ago. In this exhibition, you can enjoy music boxes made by devising various shapes and tastes, such as those with very fine details owned by the royal aristocrats and those using discs called discs.

Active in street corners and cafes from ancient times

Street organ

A street organ is a small pipe-type organ that creates air and plays by turning the handle. Since ancient times, it has been active in places where people gather, such as street corners and event venues. Small ones were carried, and large ones were carried on trolleys.
