Talk:Music box

message: Hi
I am not a native English speaker, but it seems to me that in the example below, the sentence should start with 'There were' rather than 'There was':
There was many variations of large music machines, usually built for the affluent of the pre-phonograph 19th century. Some were called the Symphonium, others were called the Concert Regina Music Box machine. Both variations were as tall as a grandfather clock and both used interchangeable large disks to play different sets of tunes. Both were spring-wound and driven and both had a bell-like sound. The machines were often made in England, Italy, and America, with additional disks made in Switzerland, Austria, and Prussia. Early "juke-box" pay versions of them existed in public places also. Marsh's free Museum and curio shop in Long Beach, Washington State (USA) has several still-working versions of them on public display. The Musical Museum, Brentford, London has a number of machines[1] The Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ, USA has a magnificent collection, including interactive exhibits. In addition to video and audio footage of each piece, the actual instruments are demonstrated for the public daily on a rotational basis.[2]

message: Would be useful links to archives of recorded musical boxes, if there is any.
I dont see how placing a link to http://studentpages.scad.edu/~jgardn24/musicbox5.html is an advertisement or anything like that. It's an interactive website that I'm in no way affiliated with, that shows the inner workings of a music box and how one works.

message: Does the famous Sailor Moon Densetsu locket exist in mechanical form (made by Sankyo or anybody else)? I have the usual electronic tone-based version (the luxury one with metallic casing) but it is still not the "real thing". I would get a peg-based one, if it is affordable. 82.131.210.162 19:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added the Whitney Music Box to show how animation can demonstrate musical thirds, but as it is a virtual music box, I felt that the information would be best served on this page.  Team4Technologies (talk) 23:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a separate entry for polyphon which should be listed on this page somewhere, but I am not sure where. Perhaps an edit of the "evolving production" section could include this variant? That section needs tidying anyway. Elriana (talk) 20:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello.
1) I notice there is an almost complete lack of information in the article about the current new type of music box, namely the punched-paper-tape music box, also called the "D.I.Y. musicbox". I suggest someone write up info about that new development in the musicbox world. Do you need ME to do that? Who wants to cooperate with me on writing-up that info? I don't know what authority to talk with, about this. If anyone has discussion on this, feel free to contact me at artpitkin@mail2nuclear.com, as I know a few things about this type of musicbox.  One type (the most popular, due to its low price) is manufactured by "Kikkerland".  These "D.I.Y" or "punched paper-tape musicboxes" are sold on eBay.  YouTube videos of them are available, for example here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHiW_krWgow
2) And another development is the electric musicboxes. Both the "D.I.Y." (punch your own tune into a paper tape) and the (pinned-drum) type of musicboxes are now available as electric-motor-driven musicboxes (in addition to the spring-wound and hand-cranked types of musicboxes).
I really think SOMEONE should add these types of info, RECENT developments, in this area, musicboxes. I do not feel qualified, myself, to do it all, myself. So I would welcome a co-writer or an authority to provide significant guidelines.
