Musical Boxes, Disc Musical Boxes, Organettes, a Player Piano, Orchestrelle,
Chamber Barrel Organ from 18th Century, Barrel Piano, Barrel Dulcimer etc.
The commentary is informative but all tunes are played without any talking
to allow full enjoyment.

If you live elsewhere please tell me which COUNTRY you are in so I can quote
correct currency & postage.
