Music Box Video
By Nancy Fratti

Hauke Marxsen inquired about current video's relating to music boxes.
To my knowledge there are only a few videos:

1.  MUSIC IN TIME, made by the Musical Box Society Int'l.  A walk through
the exhibit put on by the MBSI at the National Assoc. of Watch & Clock
Collectors.  The exhibit was there 1990-91 and had about 60 boxes in it.
Video narrated by myself and John Metcalf, who was then in charge of
restorations.

2.  REUGE Music boxes put out a video version of their book "The
Wonderland of Music Boxes & Automata".  A look at modern day musical box
industry and visit to Michel Bertrand's automata workshop.

3.  AUTOMATA, Mechanical Marvels of the 20th Century -- made by
Christian Bailly, narrated by Dick Cavet.  Strictly automata.

4.  AUTOMATA -- put out for a short time by, I believe, the Museum of
Automata in York, England.

There are numerous videos of the Band Organ Rallies.  I can't think of
any other videos.  I would be happy to supply more info if necessary!
