Mechanical Music Museums in USA
By Larry Smith

Philippe, that's a good web page, but I'd like to note that the entries
for East Coast USA are not entirely right.  The "American Museum of
Mechanical Music" is no longer operating as such.  While owners Marty and
Elise Roenigk will show their collection to MBSI members by appointment,
they no longer operate as an actual museum.

Also: Musical Wonder House, 18 High St., Wiscasset, Me. 04578, phone
(207) 882-7163.  They are open from Memorial Day weekend until
October-ish.  While I can't recommend them for restoration work, they
_do_ have an absolutely fabulous collection of musical boxes, reproducing
pianos, and early phonographs.  Ground level tours are $10, no
reservation required, full building tours are $30 (I think) and need
reservations.
