Great to see this! I didn't know there was this collection. If you visit the museam, do they always let the instruments play?

[pianolasociety]

The only thing playing the day I went was the Wurlitzer Organ. I was very disappointed!

Its a real shame that not as many people are taking an interest into these wonderful instruments. If only more people would display these wonderful machines in the general public,then life would be a breeze for the world of mechanical music :)

I remember that waltz from Dr.Jeckal and Mr.Hyde.
