Hello all,  My thanks to Robbie for his recent comment.  The best
example I have seen illustrating this nomenclature problem.

>[  "Antique Edison cylinder music box Victorian walnut cabinet
>[   with pull out slide.  This music cabinet is made from walnut
>[   and dates from the late 19th century."

>[ The photo shows a familiar cabinet which stores Edison cylinders
>[ (or discs) and the top surface is suitable for the phonograph.

Finally a very good example of what "Music Box" means vs. "Musical Box"
and why MBSI is the Musical Box Society International and not the Music
Box Society International.  (Besides, the former sounds better, doesn't
it?)

Yes, I know the "Common usage" angle.  But sometimes I like a little
nit picking too.

Folks, I think we've been had on this here (or is it that there) music
box.
