WILCOX & WHITE
ROS Reg No. 5769


Located in Styria, Austria. Bass/treble break at keys 24/24. The Vox Jubiletta is no a reed on its own but a combination of Diapason and Dulciana. Also the Clariana-stop is just a damped version of the Melodia-reeds.

The instrument must haven been sold in Vienna before 1918, as indicated by a badge on the front. Furthermor the badge mentions prices the company had won an (world?-)exhibitions during the 1880s and 1890s, the last one mentioned being "Chicago 1893". This may contradict the date of tuning written inside the machine, but on the other hand if one adds some time in storage before and after shipping of the instrument the date seems still plausible.
