this is really bizarre , did Wing pianos sell phonographs ? The Wing badge looks much newer than the rest of the case , odd

Here is a video of a five-pedal Wing & Son upright with what appears to be an electronic player mechanism retrofitted under the keys, to allow for playing from MIDI files. It's an interesting instrument.
The company may have tried a brief fling at making phonographs during the 1910s-1920s when the off brand machines showed up.
