There are several books available via Nancy Fratti <musicbox@sover.net>
and Marty Roenigk via the MMD.  Books are by Bulleid about repairing
and taking care of music boxes, and the intricacies of music box
construction.  These Bulleid books are invaluable.

Also, you should get the Encyclopedia Bowers about mechanical music
instruments.  Putting your own music on a cylinder is expensive,
but talk to the above people and to Reg Smith at <rsmith@athens.net>.
