Mechanical Music & Automatic Musical Instruments

What's in a name?  Paul Bellamy and Robbie Rhodes think that
"Mechanical Music" and "Automatic Musical Instruments" do not give
the subject the proper connotation.  It's because "Mechanical" and
"Automatic" are the turn-off.  Put the "Music" first!  The name of
my company is "Musical Antiques" and I think that says it all.
