MM Museum in Wiscasset, Maine
By Robbie Rhodes

Well-maintained and tuned mechanical music instruments, displayed in
an historic 1852 Georgian-style residence with a flying staircase, are
featured at the Musical Wonder House (Music Museum) in Wiscasset,
Maine.

Douglas Henderson says that the museum,  which he and Danilo Konvalinka
co-founded in 1962, is looking forward to its 35th season.  The collec-
tion is still growing, and so every season the returning visitor can
experience a few additional instruments.  See the web site for more
information plus pictures of some of the instruments:

While you're in town, stop and say "hi" to Douglas and see how he
creates Artcraft Music Rolls.  His shop is nearby the museum; for info
call (207) 882-7420 or e-mail <artcraft@wiscasset.net>.  The new
Artcraft web site is just now on-line at
