"Le Celeste"
This cylinder recorder is called "le Celeste," thus demonstrating the superiority of things named Celeste in making musical sounds (and also the masculinity of same).
I think the little bell on the left might be because this records as well as plays back, or perhaps it's an early tweeter.
