Hi there, In reply to Damon Atchison's request about Christmas
music on orchestrions: two years ago, the Museum van Speelklok tot
Pierement (Utrecht, The Netherlands) released a CD "Christmas Bells",
with recordings of Christmas music on a variety of mechanical musical
instruments (from music boxes to dance organs).
One of those is played on a Philipps Paganini orchestrion and is called
the "Christmas Foxtrot" (very nice!) and another one is played on an
Aeolian Orchestrelle (it's a medley of Christmas melodies).
If anyone would like to get this CD, I'd suggest they contact the
museum themselves. You can get there by the web site of the KDV:
