I invite all mechanical music collectors to attend the MBSI 2004
Annual Meeting to be held in Orlando, Florida, August 24-29, 2004.
Detailed information on the meeting is available on the MBSI
web site  http://www.mbsi.org/

The meeting will feature two of the world's best collections of
mechanical music.  The Robert & Paul Milhous Collection, located
in Boca Raton, Florida, features the world's best collection of
orchestrions and other pneumatic instruments.  It also offers a
terrific collection of vintage automobiles and a Dentzel Carousel.
The Mark & Christel Yaffe Collection offers one of the world's best
representative collections of mechanical music featuring cylinder and
disc boxes, orchestrions, automata and automated-musical pictures.

The annual meeting will offer tours to these collections over three
days.  In addition, the keynote speaker is Q. David Bowers and the
workshop presenters are a "who's who" of the premier people in each
field.  If you wish to attend, download the registration packet from
the MBSI web site or call Kevin F. Kline 305-285-9793
