mechanical organ
Self-playing wind instrument
A mechanical organ is a self-playing organ that produces music through automated means rather than a human performer.
Barrel organs, fairground organs, and street organs are common types, using pinned cylinders, perforated paper rolls, or cardboard books to control which pipes sound.
The carousel's mechanical organ wheezed out a waltz.
