I've just received a fine recording of 19th century musical Snuff
Boxes.  I am not aware of any other such recordings.  Are any of you?

This 2020 CD contains 63 airs from 31 movements and runs 31 minutes.
The sound is wonderful and the selections are identified when known.
They date from 1814 through the 1840's.  Sur Plateau, segmented and
single combs mechanisms are represented.  As an additional treat, an
insert has photographs illustrating different styles and materials
of manufacture.

They are from the collection of Christopher and Juliet Fynes of the
UK.  Christopher, a fine craftsman, has restored the boxes.  The
ornate music is crisp and perfectly recorded and the boxes are well
tuned!  For more information contact Juliet Fynes at
