Unfortunately, the piece is exhibited on a table in a dimly lit room, far from the viewers, and it is never played for visitors. I'm going to try to borrow it to exhibit at the 2000 MBSI convention in San Jose. Marc Kaufman

The
Monkey Violinist is evidently by Phalibois, ca. 1880. The music plays
well, and there are two motions: the head and arm move. I couldn't
tell if the mouth should move, but I believe the eyes should.
