Sources of Discs for Kalliope Music Box
By Larry Greenfield

The only two people I can recall making discs are Dwight Porter
(802-728-9694), and Barry Johnson (650-323-5268) in northern California.
He also has ads running in the MBSI publications.  I believe there are
others, but I can't recall; perhaps check the latest MBSI publications.

The Kalliope is not particularly popular or common and therefore new
discs may not be economically feasible.  An alternative: if there are
people who own such machines, perhaps they could record the music and
then share on the Internet or by CD or minidisk.  I just finished
recording the 31 cylinders of my interchangeable Paillard music box,
to share with a few very close friends.  Consider the enormous number
of hours it took to record and annotate the 31 cylinders with 6 tunes
each, with each cylinder playing about 5 minutes.
