The xylophone has a pnuematic that moves the beaters closer to the xylophone bars on command from the soft pedal perforation in the roll. Since this machine, as does the Seeburg, has more instruments than holes in the roll, it multiplexes. The Nelson-Wiggen has two shifters in it to multiplex with, whereas Seeburg has one. The first shifter is operated from the soft hole and the second shifter works with the xylophone. These instruments are very rare today. Don Teach

block.
