Automatic musical instruments are musical instruments that reached their heyday in the early 1900s. Various musical instruments are automatically played based on the information stored in the "music roll" with holes in the paper and the "paper disc" with holes in the circular cardboard. Early automatic musical instruments were limited to organ performances, but gradually it became possible to handle multiple musical instruments, the songs played became complicated, and the playing time was extended.
