Symphonion Brevete

Post by EmmaT »

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help me identify this model/tell me a bit more about it as I cant find anything over the internet!
Its a Symphonion Brevete with a handle on the front which needs continual turning to play the music (not sprung) It takes 8 ¼ sized disks and the inside label differs from others I have seen. Any info greatly appreciated!
Will upload some pics in a min

Sounds like you have a Symphonion disc music box. These are not phonographs which are the focus of this forum. You may want to Google 'Music Box Society International (MBSI)', a collector group that focuses more on automated music rather than recorded sound.

Brevete is French for Patented.
