Susan and I have shown you quite a few automatons and clockwork devices over the years. This one came to my attention via a newspaper advertisement by fabulous antique emporium M.S. Rau Antiques. If I ever get to New Orleans, that will be one of my first stops.
This dulcimer player may have inspired the more famous one belonging to Marie Antoinette, which Susan reported on a while back.
