    Does anyone of you have a Polyphon music box. I just love the sound. It sounds like Christmas.

    That is so funny. We had a Regina music box, and the family who owned it commissioned the last remaining makers of the musical discs to make holiday songs. It was their Christmas tradition. Before we sold it I made a video of one of the tunes. I fell in love with this music box and its sound. Was like going back in time. Enjoy!
    Here is a link to the recording (I hope it works.):

    Regina was a knock-off of Polyphon when Gustav Brachhausen emigrated to the US.
    early Symphonion are desirable as well.

    Perhaps not exactly that Polyphon machine, but a Polyphon machine with similar rich sound. No offence AmericanGeode, yours is nice as well.
