Welt-piano Konzertist

"A 1920s-vintage Hugo Popper 'Happy Jazzband' Orchestrion Welt-Piano Konzertist, made in Leipzig, Germany.
They were created by adding a 'jazz band percussion effect' top cabinet to a Welt coin piano model. The instrument plays music from 88 note or 88 hole rolls, of an identical size to Arburo rolls, and in addition to the piano, has percussion and trap effects such as muted cymbal, snare drum, triangle and wood block."
