Ledges with carved lancet flutes and finial are on the panel sides, winding crank is to the right, and six (register) sliders with explanatory inscriptions are below. The manufacturer’s nameplate “Clementi & Co” is on the panel.

The door, which gives access to the pinned barrel with the sticker on the inner side with the list of melodies on three barrels, is on the left lateral side.

When crank is rotated the barrel rotates as well, the bellows are set in motion, forcing air into the wind chest with valves that distribute compressed air between the pipes. Pins and bridges on the pinned barrel raise the keys, which open the valves of the corresponding pipes; air from the wind chest enters the pipes and makes them sound. Sliders make possible switching of the registers and percussion instruments. Three exchangeable barrels and winding crank are in the set. Music media: pinned cylinder.
