Serinette - Organette

This Is very unusual and I admit, not to everyone's liking, but I thought it may interest Derek in his quest for 'birdsong' on a pinned barrel.

There were 3 clips on this site.
The first is on the blog...the second was a Cob organ and the third was the following.

Hi Kippers,
These sirinettes when they were made were a very cheap small barrel organ, this is just the thing that i am looking for thank you,i think some were made to imitate bird song to teach caged canaries to sing,
Sometime soon i will pin the original barrel,with just a small section and see what happens but i must finish the project that i am working on first, i will email you for further information.
