Dear MMD's,  Our French association and several museums received
an advertisement by a well-known music German publisher, Schott,
about the forthcoming issue of a CD-ROM, in German and English, about
mechanical music.

The English title, "Encyclopedia of Mechanical Music Instruments",
made me think at first it was the Bowers' Encyclopedia  on CD-ROM,
but apparently it is not.  (It will be interesting to know how Bowers'
American publisher will react.)  Does anyone know who made, or took
part in the conception and elaboration of, this CD-ROM ?

Best regards,

Philippe Rouille  (Paris, France)
