Hi.  Did any of you hear about the Melodicon?  This is a small electric
mechanical musical instrument with chimes (11 hammers on brass bars),
very simple, with a very delightful sound, built in Germany in around
the nineteen-seventies.  It plays two Christmas melodies.  I can send
two pictures if interested : nimal.jean@wanadoo.fr

I just found one but, unfortunately, this one is badly out of tune!
Does anyone know the scale of this instrument?  I wish you (each and
all of you) a Merry Christmas.
