Charles Hind has built a beautiful music box. The metal is georgeous, the wood box is full of inlay. This was his second(!) music box project. The first was a maniville (hand cranked). His design was conservative: three tunes with tooth tips 0.100" apart. Larger than average cylinder pins.
As for the mart: most everyone stayed for the public mart, the exception being Frank Metzger. His items tend to be very small, very fragile, and very expensive.
Don't I count as a known subscriber?
