Nicole Freres Musical Box Playing Hymns
By Darren J. Wallace

A very large "Thank you" to all who responded to my inquiry to locate
a Nicole Freres Hymn Box.  I have found a nice "two-per-turn", fat
cylinder, piano forte, lever wind which I am very pleased to add to my
collection.

It was great that so many people answered my advert with very tempting
pieces!  Thanks again for all the kind responses.

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between a Hymn playing box,
and an Oratorio box?  Is there indeed a difference?

P.S.: You can see the Bordier I have, along with all sorts of other
musical boxes (and my restoration abilities) on my Facebook page:
