Introduction
By Larry Karp

I'm in Seattle; have been collecting mechanical music for about 12
years.  My major interest is in early (mostly keywound) cylinder music
boxes, but I also like disc boxes, musical automata (including
manivelles: the motorless, hand-cranked type), mechanical organs, and most
of the nongigantic musical machines, generally the more unusual, the better.¶
        I also collect unusual early (mostly European) phonographs.¶
        Besides collecting, I read and write about the machines (and am
always interested in relevant books and original paper items), and do
restorations/repairs on my machines.¶
        If I might be of help to you, let me know.  If you might be of
help to me, let me know.
