MIRA DISK MUSIC BOX. “An absolutely superb-sounding instrument”. This is a great “Mira” music box, made in Switzerland, and playing size 18.5 disks, which can be conveniently stored in the lower section. As you probably know, Miras are famous for their fantastic sound, which, size-for-size, is considered to be the very best of all music boxes, even Regina. Croix, Switzerland by Mermod Freres, who had a long history of watchmaking, cylinder music boxes, and the famous “Stella” music boxes. But Miras were their premier musical accomplishment and are highly prized by collectors today. Overall dimensions are: 30″ wide x 24″ deep x 40″ high (when closed) and 60″ high (opened). There is a lock and key for the upper works, but not for the lower doors. The finish and decals on the front and sides are original, and the top has been refinished with a new decal applied, so it will be a showpiece in your home. The double-comb musical movement has no broken or replaced teeth, and no damper squeaks or any other issues. The combs show some light patina (after 120+ years). The sound is so loud and resonant due to double “sound bridges” between the bed plate and the spruce sound board below. The front open fretwork also allows the sound to emanate from that area as well. Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Poet & Peasant Overture. We’ve been collecting music boxes for over 30 years, and in my opinion this is one of the very best we’ve ever heard. The sound is simply incredible. Only the best, safest packing materials are utilized. We are a leading world-wide dealer and specialist in mechanical music, clocks and phonographs and stand by what we sell 100%.

MIRA “MIRAPHONE” DISK MUSIC BOX & PHONOGRAPH ” ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION “. As you know, the Swiss were the pioneers and virtual monopolizers of the music box industry throughout the 19th century. Their dominance in the manufacture and distribution of cylinder music boxes was legendary. But, later on, the Germans came up with a competing format , the disk music box, that threw the Swiss for a loop. Mermod Freres of St. Croix, Switzerland, who had a long history as watchmakers, and of the maker of fine cylinder music boxes, entered the fray with designs of their own. The Stella music box, for instance, featured disks without projections. But Stellas did not have the volume or resonance to effectively compete against Polyphons or Symphonions, so Mermod brought out their “Mira” line, with full volume and dynamic sound that had no equal. To this day, experts agree, the finest-sounding disk music boxes, size for size, are Miras. As phonographs started to overtake music boxes as the primary form of home entertainment, the important makers tried to incorporate phonographs and created “hybrid” machines such as this. Unfortunately, the popularity of phonographs was so great as to drive the music box makers out of business by the early 1920’s. We are offering this exceptional rarity, produced in very small numbers in the 1910’s. Plays size 12 Mira metal music disks, of which we have 12 to include. The phonograph components (actually made by Columbia for Mira) comprise a “front-mount setup and a 10″ record turntable. The music box is a double-comb type, with no missing or broken teeth and no damper squeaks. The sound is strong and resonant. The music box/phonograph sits atop a rich, matching mahogany cabinet and will house both your disks and records. Music box/phonograph: 21″ wide x 18″ deep x 10 high. Base cabinet: 22″ wide x 19″ deep x 33 high. Horn: 14″ diameter x 23″ long. We will also include a tin of needles, and a box of records, to get you going immediately. This comes from our personal collection, and we have enjoyed it for many years. You will be absolutely thrilled to own such a fine, historic instrument.
