House on the Rock Music Machines
By Doug Henkle

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

For those who might be interested, I have installed a list of every
musical instrument and music machine I saw last October on a tour of
the House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI.  I need to go back this
summer to clear up a number of details, but it's close to being complete.

I have looked for a web site I can link to which describes the history
and creation of every music machine at the House in complete detail,
but I can't find one.  Does such a site exist?

Additions/corrections to the page are most welcome.

Also installed are the complete track lists of the four music machine
CD's sold at the House.

I am also looking forward to touring the Sanfilippo Victorian Palace
and seeing its music machines as part of the upcoming Association for
Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Conference May 2-5 in Milwaukee,
