From The Strad:

Invented in 1907, the Hupfeld Company’s ‘violin player’ was one of the marvels revealed at the World’s Fair of 1910 in Brussels.

The instrument is a combination of a player piano and three violins (each with only one active string), which are mounted vertically and played with a rotating circular bow and robotic fingers.

Read more and see a video...

When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.
