15.5 inch Regina music box - short bedplate - 20 discs for sale

The short bedplate Regina is generally considered the apex of Regina music box development, and the best sounding Regina.The bedplate extends only half the width of the cabinet, incorporating a sort of double sounding board, and yielding a brilliant tone.

These machines are always double comb, and are usually found in pretty serpentine cases like the oak case here.

This example is in exceptionally nice condition. The combs are really clean, the leads are as nice and shiny as when they came out of the factory, and the dampers are in regulation. I had pulled the combs and cleaned the gantry and dampers a little bit, but really this machine didn't need it.

The case is in good original condition. There is a little weathering on the lid, but the case has original good old dark varnish, and it would be a crime to refinish it. My camera is blowing the color of the case to orange, but I would describe the color as old dark honey brown.

The motor is working properly, and the box is playing impressively, as you can hear on the youtube video below.

Includes a bonus 20 discs.
