Hello Jan,  thank you very much for the interesting information about
Carillons & Glockenspiele; you are a very active member of the MMD.

I have a little correction to one statement of yours.  For the other
members of the MMD a short recapitulation.  We spoke about:

>> Subject: German expressions for "Music Box"
>>
>> ... the answer is, there are a few expressions:
>> "Spieluhr", "Spieldose" and / or "Musikdose".

Your message:¶
> I know at least one extra: a clock that plays a tune is called
> "Spieluhr", but you will also find "Musikuhr".

The part "....uhr" of the word "Spieluhr" has the meaning of clock or
watch.  It should be logical to think that a "Spieluhr" should be a clock
that plays a tune.  It's partially OK.  In most cases, if someone talks
(or writes) about a "Spieluhr", he or she talks about a simple cylinder
or disk music box (without a clock).

The expression "Musikuhr" you will find or hear very seldom.

By the way, have you ever visited at the big parties which Siegfried
Wendel (the pope of Mechanical Music in Germany) celebratates in
Ruedesheim at the river Rhine one or twice per year ?  Maybe we can
meet together there sometime ?

Greetings, Hauke
