Found on trash heap...what is it?

Greetings -

Was in a hurry today, but spotted this on a trash heap on a farm. No idea what it is...any help? And, yes, that is a dead skunk...

Thanks!

I dunno, but the combination of mechanical apparatus, things that look like miniature bellows, and stuff kinda makes me think of an electrostatic reed organ?

It looks to be the underside of a butterfly grand pianola.

Welcome to the board!

Player grand piano. Looks like a project! Let us know when you've finished restoring (and MIDI-ing) it (lol).
