Greetings from Taiwan,  I develop "edutainment" materials to teach
English to children in Asia.  I am currently trying to design and
construct a whimsical music-playing, bubble-blowing tricycle to be
used to teach children's songs to children visiting the world's first
full-scale English educational theme park to open in Paju, Korea, in
April of 2006.

The design I have in mind will require a large music box comb (maybe
8 to 10 inches) to be attached to the front wheel fork of the tricycle.
The teeth of the comb will be plucked by pegs attached to custom-made,
interchangeable song disks that will rotate along with the front tire,
but outside the forks.  I'm hoping someone here can tell me where to
acquire either a new or used comb.  Ideally, I'd like to find several
identical combs in case we ever need to replace the part.

If anyone here can point me in the right direction, please e-mail me at

Thanks.
