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.
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.
