It is with great sadness that I have to inform you all of the recent
death of Anthony Bulleid. Anthony passed away peacefully on the
morning of 5th May. He was 94.
Anthony was a very active member of the Musical Box Society of Great
Britain, being member number 632, and had written Musical Box Oddments
for every issue of The Music Box for thirty years.
His research into musical boxes and the design and engineering behind
them had also resulted in Anthony writing two leading books on the
subject: 'Cylinder Musical Box Technology' and 'Cylinder Musical Box
Design and Repair'.
Anthony will be sadly missed by all members of the MBSGB, MBSI, and
others who knew him.
