Bellm's Museum
By Ben Hogben

Hello,
Does anyone know if Bellm's music museum, out of Sarasota Florida, is still open? And if so, what their address/Phone # is?

I saw several references to them in Q. David Bowers "Encyclopedia of automatic musical instruments" but I was reading a re-print of a 1972 edition.

Thanks,
