Come Visit "The Music House" in Acme MI
By Bill Kenney

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Howdy,  Here is a web site the members might like to visit: The
Music House at http://www.musichouse.org/ . It is a museum located
in Traverse City, Michigan dedicated to the history of radio and
phonographs, and mechanical instruments including music boxes,
nickelodeons, reproducing pianos and the fabulous "Amaryllis" 97-key
Mortier Dance Organ.  You may send for a brochure at:

  The Music House
  P.O. Box 297
  Acme, MI 49610

It contains house recordings and also other interesting recordings.
One of the items I ordered was a cassette, Sounds of the Music House,
Vol.  1.  It contained a Regina Orchestral Corona, Model 34, 1899 music
box, Cremona "A" roll nickelodeon, Weber-Aeolian 1925 reproducing
piano, Losche "Angelus" 1910 piano, Link piano with flutes, a
Reproduco, a Bruder 52 key BO and the Mortier "Amaryllis".

Unfortunately Andy Struble of the Music House was not able to come up
with a song listing for the cassette, but the instruments recorded make
it a worthy addition to anyone's collection.

Happy listening,
Bill Kenney
