This is the "horn section" of a Military Band. An instrument of instruments. The cabinetry housed 50+ instruments including the brass trumpets you see here. Military bands were built in North Tonawanda NY (USA) primarily to provide music for carnival rides (Merry-go-rounds, Carousels). This specific instrument was built in 1911 for a roller-rink and uses an "endless roll" system to play it.
