Last year, at the East Coast meeting of the MBSI, we had a fellow
who gave an hour-long talk about the trumpet clocks that he collects
and restores.  I don't recall his name but one of the people who ran
the meeting could surely find out who it was.

Also, there is a lady in Rochester who recently contacted me about
a flute clock that she wants to sell.  It is missing the hood but
otherwise it appears to be all there.  Perhaps you could buy it and
start from there.  It has several figures that move with the music
(but not in time with the music).  Let me know if you are interested
and I'll try to find her name.
