24 inch cylinder length Grand Ovature Nicole Freres music box
Hello I supplied a soundfile of a nicole freres machine and I realize I have told you the wrong length of the cylinder of the soundfile I sent you. it is a four tune playing 3 minutes each song and it is actually 13" inches long and 3 1/4 inches diameter. with a very fine tightly spaced tooth comb. didnt want to misrepresent what was on the file. thank you
