The Mills Violano Virtuoso is an amazing mechanical music machine manufactured by Mills Novelty Company from 1907 to 1930. If you are new to the Violano, you can find history, facts and pictures related to the Violano, direct from our extensive library archives. As time allows we will publish many more original catalogs and advertising pieces from our files related to the Violano and many other mechanical music manufacturers of the golden era. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, WE ARE WILLING TO SHARE---- just ask.
Mills has many decades of experience in the mechanical music business. We have helped create some of the largest private and public museum collections. The people from our firm have served on various boards and as advisors/consultants for the largest museums and private collections in the world! We have club affiliations with COAA, AMICA, MBSI, various band organ and theatre organ groups and international music collector associations.
AT MILLS WE NEVER CHARGE A FEE to talk about mechanical music items or answer questions. Due to overwhelming requests from our customers for an alternative source where they can buy and sell instruments, we have expanded this area of our business. We have recently been awarded the contract to sell many important and amazing mechanical musical instruments---See OUR "FOR SALE" SECTION and join our "ADVANCED COLLECTOR" group (its free!)---to review the latest listings.
If you are looking to buy or sell we can likely help you accomplish your mission without paying high fees for a few telephone calls.
We intend to deliver honest, reasonably priced instruments and services. Mills provides support from the purchase to the installation, and every step along the way. We have sold to and serviced virtually EVERY major collection of mechanical music in the USA, and many others around the world. We have always had welcome access to all private collections. Our dealer/restorer network is global and includes the top restoration professionals and music dealers in business today.
We are proud to have arranged the private sale of the single largest music purchase in history! Several hundred instruments---an entire museum of top quality antique mechanical musical instruments! Even when others claim the credit, we make it happen!
Our affiliated restoration service, Haughawout Music Company is recognized as THE AUTHORITY concerning all aspects of Mills Violano restorations.
