Dear MMD friends,  With great pleasure and happiness I announce the
launch of Douglas Fisher, the first dedicated mechanical music and
automata company to newly appear in many years.  Our policy will be
offering the very best, the rarest and the most sought-after pieces
which are always to be in high demand.  This glorious subject continues
to be reviewed, represented and handled by many international parties,
many for some considerable time and covering core areas.

At Douglas Fisher, our offerings are Golden Age automata, fine
singing bird boxes and cages, exceptional musical virtue and unusual
cylinder musical boxes.  Our launch list on offer straight away is very
comprehensive, including many examples from the most renowned makers.
If you wish to acquire a singing bird box, you will be totally spoilt
for choice.

The time has come to offer you want you wish to see from mechanical
music.  That's why, on our web site, each and every piece not only has
a bunch of static images showing all planes, but a sounded video and
to top it off, a 360-degree path imaging show which allows you to turn
the piece with your fingertips and zoom on your screen.  Nothing
hidden, everything observed.
