Tanzbaer Player Accordion Mechanism
By Uwe Gernert 

In the 20.06.26 MMD John Bartlett asks about the mechanism of the
Tanzbaer accordion and how it operates.  There are German documents
that answer John's questions.  Here is one:

https://antiques.bayern/zuleger_tanzbaer_1.html  

The text is all in German, but beginning on that page you may get some
information in the other chapters and from its photos about Tanzbaeren.
You will find a full article about Tanzbaeren here:

This article was translated and published in English by MBSG in their
journal "The Music Box," v. 29, no. 1 (Spring 2019).

Regards,
Uwe Gernert
