Dual Disk Porter Music Boxes
By Jack Hardman
Terry Smythe asked about Dwight Porter's Twin Disk box. Yes Dwight does
build a twin disk version of his 15-1/2" 'Regina'-type music box. I saw
and played one recently while visiting Walt Bellm in Sarasota. The two
program disks contained the same program rather than separate coordinated
programs as found on the 'Eroica' for example where 3 separate disks with
3 separate complimentary programs played in synchronization for a wonderful
orchestrated big sound.
I say Dwight does build the 3-disk; maybe I should have said he DID since
I have no first hand knowledge that he still makes them. As always
Dwight's workmanship was outstanding on Walt's machine.
