Passing of Danilo Konvalinka, Musical Wonder House
By Robbie Rhodes

Danilo Konvalinka, formerly of 16-18 High Street, Wiscasset, died
peacefully at Coves Edge Long Term Care in Damariscotta, Maine,
on June 18, 2015.  He was 84 years old.

In 1963 Konvalinka established The Musical Wonder House in Wiscasset,
Maine.  There, in an elegant setting filled with antiques and art,
a world-famous collection of antique music boxes, player pianos, disc
and cylinder phonographs, crank organs, automatons and mechanical
singing bird cages was displayed.  Thousands of guests enjoyed guided
tours of the museum collection.

A graveside gathering of friends will be held at a later date.
