Bravo, David.  I like the idea of a glossary on the web.  But,
I'll tell you what feature I'd love to see in such a glossary:
a little button you can click to hear the *pronunciation* of the word.

It would be especially nice for all those foreign terms and creative
names that makers of music boxes, organs, pianos, etc. dreamt up.

Having learned most of what I know about mechanical music from books,
I am always shy to open my mouth to discuss certain mechanical music
topics, fearful that not only might I get my facts wrong, but
mispronounce the words at the same time.   :^o

Now the challenge will be finding some people qualified to provide
the sound clips and for you to know they got it right.
