Maybe Babel Fish didn't do so bad in translation. I own a "Musical
Casket" (organette). It must have been somewhat popular, being
advertised in magazines as such. But I don't speak Russian. And
yes, I hope someone can help.

[ By itself, "shkatulka" can be a casket or box or case but

[ a musical box.
