Bellm's Museum
By Ben Hogben

Hello,¶
Does anyone know if Bellm's music museum, out of Sarasota Florida, is still
open? And if so, what their address/Phone # is?

I saw several references to them in Q. David Bowers "Encyclopedia of
automatic musical instruments" but I was reading a re-print of a 1972
edition.

Thanks,¶

 [ Editor's Note:
 [
 [      Walt Bellm is still there.  I'm told that the collection may not
 [      be as big (or the same) as it used to be but should be worth
 [      checking out.
 [
 [      From the MBSI Directory:
 [
 [      "Cars and Music of Yesterday"     is the formal name
 [      5500 N. Tamiami Trail
 [      Sarasota FL
 [
 [      813-355-6228
 [
 [      2000 examples of mechanical music spanning two centuries
 [      Open every day of the year
