I have a customer that collects those "music boxes" which play those
disks.  They are still being made down south somewhere.  I saw one for
sale at the visitor center for Hearst Castle, about $15,000.  My
customer finds them in old barns and other places.  They make the most
beautiful sound you could imagine.  Like those little jewelry music
boxes, only much larger.  They have a crank and a big spring that powers
it.  The disks are just like phonograph records.  I think some famous
composers wrote music just for these music boxes.  Maybe someone else
knows more...
