CIRCUS MUSICAL PRAXINOSCOPE

 

Circus musical praxinoscope. Emile Reynaud invented the praxinoscope in 1877, which in turn was an evolution of the zoetrope invented by George Horner in 1834, since in the praxinoscope the slots are replaced by a ring of mirrors shaped, usually dodecahedron, which allows clear vision direct and more transparent than that provided by the zoetrope, in addition to allowing more spectators to gather around it.

We have added music to all our praxinoscopes with the exception of the lamps

The melody is loaded with the key at the top, above the set of mirrors and is independent of rotation, that is, it is not necessary for the praxinoscope to be rotating to hear it and vice versa, the device can rotate without us needing to listen. music.

We have FOUR different melodies:

 

As times goes by (from the movie “Casablanca”)

-Over the rainbow (From the movie “The Wizard of Oz”)

-The Carousel Waltz (by Richard Rogers). It is the famous melody that is usually heard on the carousels at all the fairs.

-The Gymnopedie No. 1 by Eric Satie

 

And FOUR different models:

-Circus Blue

-Circus Red

-Lumiere

-Metal plated in old brass.
