If you're in europe I recommend the Speelklok Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands, it's a blast! So many different music-automata from the centuries. Cheap tickets, been there 2 times.

Easy to find from the Central Railway station. I’ve also been a couple of times and it’s fascinating.

In 1956 in the Village College in Sawston in Cambridgeshire had one of the big upright music machines with prickly discs, I was eight, but my Mum taught there, so I'd be collected from my school down the road, and allowed, with supervision, to play tunes on it. That started my enjoyment of mechanical music.

The first time I saw one of the disc playing machines,. I fell in love with it.

[@brendareed8412]

Oh, I want one of those disc playing music boxes!
