First time I see an automatic disc-changing music box. What a pleasant surprise!
I love that people made these, people preserve these, and are willing to share this. It's all absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
What an incredible piece of ancient enginery: it's so fascinating to observe and listen to these machines
This music box is very pretty, it sounds nice the way it is. I appreciate seeing these old antiques
This Regina music box is very chilling and haunting to listen to.

That's because one of their tunes had been used to traumatise a generation.
Magnificent! That a LOT of action for one wind!
Breaks my heart that I probably won’t be able to afford one. 😢
CD Changer, circa 1900.

The second song is “Verlassen Verlassen”
great!!
When was it made?
Lovely arrangement. Pity the audio is so amateurish.
♥️
Great instrument but it needs re tuning its way out,there's no depth and power to the tone ! But still a marvellous thing of the Victorian era. Could be restored back to its original splendour.
Little wonder
A bit detuned. Needs repair.
Hahaha, soulless auctions
