Custom-Made Musical Boxes

I have seen, now and then, movements by a small company in Switzerland,
MAP S.A.  During my last visit in Ruedesheim I accidentally heard
that this company is producing custom-made musical box movements.

I have just now phoned them.  They do not have Internet connection
up to now, but they will have it soon.

The person I spoke to told me that they have more than 1000 melodies
in stock on 18-, 22-, 28- and new on 32-tongue-movements.  Soon I will
get a leaflet and also the conditions for making individually-made
movements.  After I have got it, I will tell you more (address,
fax-number and so on).

Kind regards from Hauke Marxsen, Germany

 [ and so I hope that a 28- or 32-note disc movement is available.
 [ Could you please ask about the scale (the gamma)?  -- Robbie
