American Regina Corona 15.5″ Disc Automatic Changer Music Box
The American Regina Corona 15.5″ automatic changer disc music box is an exquisite example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. This model features a sophisticated double comb 156-note movement. This advanced mechanism allows the music box to play through 12 discs in succession automatically. With the flip of a switch, the machine will pick up a disc from the rack, raise it to the musical combs, play, lower, and move on to the next tune in sequence, providing a continuous and enchanting listening experience. Encased in a luxurious bow-front mahogany case, this music box is adorned with elegant barley twist columns, cabriole legs, and a beautifully carved crown, making it a stunning and sophisticated piece of furniture as well as a functional musical instrument.
The Regina Music Box Company of Rahway, New Jersey, held international prestige from the 1880s to the advent of the phonograph in the early 20th century. The company quickly gained tremendous popularity, producing some of the era’s most beautifully crafted and finest-sounding machines. Automatic changers were among Regina’s most impressive offerings. However, due to their incredibly high cost, a limited market could afford music boxes of this caliber. Far fewer automatic disc changers were produced than other models, making this machine a remarkable acquisition.
The music box includes 12 original discs, each offering a unique musical selection, ensuring a diverse repertoire of tunes.
Expertly restored to its original glory, this music box comes with a one-year warranty for your peace of mind.
