Antique mechanical music boxes, the most wonderful sound you will ever hear

I was fortunate to be invited to see and hear this collection last year.
Its a private family collection located in Sussex UK.
Years of hard work have gone into restoring and presenting these fantastic machines in a 'as new' condition.
I recall being blown away by the sound as a young boy, now as a 43 year old the magic remains.
Share with me now a short sample.
If you want to hear more you can find a good number on the SayDisc label! CDs 303, 312, 346, 359 and 408.
(not an ad just very impressed with them)

The quality and workmanship in these old music boxes are just beyond description and beyond compare. My grandparents used to have an old Regina floor model and the first time I heard it as a little kid I thought it was music straight from heaven.

I've seen this kind of music box at the Sultan's Palace from old kingdom of Siak Sri Indrapura in Indonesia. they called that: Comet.

Your Open QuestionShow me another »

Has anyone seen a music box like this...?

I once saw a movie where a little girl carried around a very small metal object, round I believe. It had a knob that, as long as she turned it, would cause the object to play music, like a little manual music box. I would love to have one. Does anyone know what this might be?
