Hupfeld Phonoliszt

The Amazing Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina plays real violins along with piano accompaniment. Each violin has one playing string (D, A and E respectively) and is pushed against a circular bow giving an accurate reproduction of a real violin playing. The vibrato, bow speed and violin pressure are varied by coding in the roll to give full expression to the violins. The tracker bar can be turned upside down to enable the instrument to play "Phonoliszt" expression piano only rolls. Once made in their thousands there are fewer than 40 surviving Violina's in the world, this one is the only known oak case example.
