Visited the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix today and was very pleasantly surprised to get up close to DAWG's Parrot Loar and a very early Orville Gibson A.

The card says that this A dates from 1894 and is the earliest known Orville instrument. Is this a fact or a little embellishment?
There was a short video of Mr. G playing the Parrot.
Apologies if these have been posted before. They were included in a special exhibition titled "Musical Treasures." Not sure if this is a traveling exhibition or not.
This was my first visit to the MIM, and I was impressed with the museum and their mandolin collection. Fun way to spend a Sunday morning.
