Description: | This is a polyphon. It was used to make music in wealthy homes in the 1800s. A perforated card disk is turned either by hand or by a clockwork mechanism. As it turns, the perforations are used to create a tune, in a similar way to music boxes and barrel organs. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East home life leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
