Hello MMD readers,  Our museum, The Musical Wonder House, has had one
of these unusual musical boxes in its display for about 25 to 30 years.
In addition to finely phrased, almost piano-like performances, it has
a dial for indicating the selection, and this is placed under glass in
the front-center of the instrument.

Paillard in Ste.-Croix apparently made a specialty of creating unique
cylinder boxes, from the Harpe Aeolienne style to the large and elusive
'telescoping'(long-play) models of the later period.

I can't remember the titles, but am certain that my partner, Danilo
Konvalinka, will provide them for those interested.  The museum's URL
is near the bottom of my links page:
