Enjoyed Mathew Caulfield's discussion of the NBC chimes and his mention of
the Deagan Co.

Several years ago, at a Musical Box Society annual meeting, I attended a
talk (workshop) by a long-term  employee of the Deagan Co., who worked
there til the very end.  He told us Deagan had manufactured all the anvils
ever made for use with the Anvil Chorus.   Just last week, a close friend
and MBSI member attended a concert in Orange County Calif. where the Anvil
Chorus was played.  Instead of an anvil, they used a triangle!  Instead of
"clang, clang," the notes were "tinkle, tinkle."  If you happen to find an
anvil at the next flea market, there's an orchestra in Calif. who sure
could use one!
