Myth has it that the first music box was designed for the amusement and entertainment of Marie Antoinette. But history reveals that musical clocks were constructed in the 16th century for royalty and the wealthy. The musical tones were derived by notching a revolving disc striking a single pin. The music box proper was introduced by Antoine Favre, a Swiss watchmaker, in 1796, enabling the middle class to dance and enjoy the popular music of the period in the privacy of their homes. The latter half of the 19th century rewarded the world with the enchanting melodies of the disc player, the predecessor of the contemporary phonograph, tapes and discs. These instruments were not only produced in Europe, but had great success by American manufacturers. Tax and shipping are NOT included in the listed price.
