Welcome to the Musical Box Society of Great Britain

The world of mechanical music contains a wealth of fascinating details for the collector, whether his interest be primarily musical or mechanical. To be able to repair a damaged musical box, it is true, you need to be something of a musician as well as an engineer, but many people who are neither gain immense pleasure from these fine examples of nineteenth-century craftsmanship.
