Howdy Nada from the Lone Star State!
By Jack Kane

Howdy Nada from the Lone Star State!

I love the disc music boxes -- I would really appreciate any input
you might have on the subject.  Currently I am trying to figure out
how to get the information from a disc into a computer format that
would be "translatable" into another disc format (say from a Mira to
a Polyphon.)  What kind of boxes are you interested in?  Any ideas on
new music for these machines?  What about a music box which reads the
disc either optically or using the starwheel gantry to trigger
switches which would play or "translate" the notes (say a Stella for
the former or a 27" Regina for the latter?)
