Unknown Polyphon Discs
By Dave Corkrum

Hello Everyone,  I am an infrequent participant in MMD although
I read the Digest daily.  I am in the process of making approximately
50 masters for the 22" Polyphon disc musical box.  I have been able to
identify all of the discs and there numbers except for two.

The first one ends with the word "Schuplatte".  I know the tune is for
the Austrian slap dance [Schuhplattler], but I don't know the disc
number or full title.

The second one is "Die Parade __  Zinnsoldaten".  The disc number that
I can read is 90_ _ 4.  I checked the list that is in Graham Webb's
book on the disc musical box, but there is no listing.

If you can be of any help, I would really appreciate it.  By the way,
once these are completed I will have about 200 tunes for the 19-5/8",
110 tunes for the 22" and 104 tunes for the 24-1/2".

Thanks
David Corkrum
