HOTR: Musical Instruments

One of the more varied collections at House On The Rock was the collection of musical instruments, which came in two categories: those which were animated, and those that were not.

Here we have the control panel of an organ, an organ which had immense pipes:

The balance of the musical instruments were considerably less conventional than the organ. They often consisted of instruments that had been automated by Jordan and his staff, and they still play. None of them were amazing, except in the sense of a flying pig, but that was half the fun.

There appears to be part of a guitar encased in this concoction, looking as if it’s been taken over by some alien machinery.

Admittedly, the bells were probably unmodified.

There were a number of pianos throughout the House, but I don’t recall if this particular one had been modified to be a player piano.

This is a monstrous musical contraption, allegedly mobile. I’d rather not describe it further, lest it populate my nightmares.

Another couple of shots of the organ control panel.

And the orchestra plays on!
