New on Youtube: A great cylinder music box and a Symphonion disc
Hello dear friends, in September I visited the online auction at
Veilinghuis Peerdeman in Utrecht, where I could buy a great cylinder
music box by Jean Billon-Haller of Ste. Croix, made around 1894.
It plays 10 tunes, listed on the attached machine-written tune sheet,
so you can find all the titles in the description. This is now the
cylinder music box with the biggest range of tunes in my collection.
In addition, I could buy 24 discs of different brands, from which
I present you one on my 10" Symphonion at the end.
Without the MMD forum, I couldn't get notice about this auction. Many
thanks go especially to Peter Berghout, who gave me a special guided
tour and assisted me in getting the music box. Here is the link to
the video:

Please don't wonder about the German intro -- that's an insider [joke]
with other blind friends of mine.
In any case, I hope that you'll enjoy this new upload.
Best collector's regards from Marburg/Germany
