See and hear Mechanical Music in Florida!
Lovers of mechanical music will have a special opportunity to
see and hear automatic instruments by Seeburg, Kalliope, Mortier,
Ampico, Bremond, Polyphon, Tangley and others the weekend of
September 30th, 2011.
The Southeast Chapter of the Musical Box Society International (MBSI)
invites members of AMICA, COAA (and of course MBSI) to our fall
chapter meeting, which will be held September 30 through October 2
in Largo, Florida. In addition to visits to the two collections
demonstrating the above instruments, the meeting will feature a
"Monkey Organ Rally" and a miniature train ride over a mile-long
track on Saturday. A "Mart" will be held so those attending can
swap parts, discs, rolls, instruments, etc.
This is a rare opportunity to view these wonderful machines up
close as they play beautiful music. For more information about the
meeting and to join MBSI, please visit the chapter's web site at
