Dear MMDs,  To complete Roland Tremblay's posting about the Sankyo
30-Note paper strip nusical box, I suggest that he contact Etienne
Blyelle, in Geneva, who for decades now is a reknown specialist of
musical boxes, old and new, especially from a technical point of view.

He wrote many articles in various journals, and publishes (in French)
his own journal (once a year) in the CABAM (Conservatoire autonome
des boi`tes a` musique), an circle of a few friends, all enthousiasts
about musical boxes, in Geneva.  He produced a year ago also a
technical dictionnary about musical boxes, of over 100 pages.  (The
CABAM is mentionned in the "Associations" section of the web pages
musica mecanica).

With best regards,

Philippe Rouille  (Paris, France)
