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...
