New-built Chordephons
By Gerard Arkenbout

Hi Robbie,  Here is my promised report about the Chordephon music boxes my
former colleague has built.  They are ready and playing in the "sublime
harmonie" way.  So coupled, they are playing sublime together.

The attached .gif files show the copies of the photographs we made, one
with the discs mounted, another with the electrical and manual driving of
the boxes.  The attached .wav files present sounds for at least half a
minute for each tune.

    Isabella.wav is "Oh Isabella, sie laest mich nicht"
    besen.wav is    "Besenbinder March"
    donau.wav is a part of the tune "An der schoenen blauen Donau"

My colleague has a number of tunes (about 27), still he wants to have
some more discs.   Where can he find them?

Happy listening.
