This musical piece from the Bremond firm in Geneva (Switzerland) has three interchangeable cylinders, noted with mandolin effects for a keyboard of metal strips in three parts. The central keyboard carries a zither: a small shutter provided with tissue paper which could be applied to the strips so as to change the timbre and give the impression of being a stringed instrument. As soon as a new opera was performed the transcribes worked on putting the musical arrangement into pinned cylinders and transformed it into refined music suitable for parlours.
