This sounds like heaven. I love how the way the note dies off (decay) blends into the next note, making the whole piece of music sort of float in space. Much sweeter and in better tune than most other music boxes, some of which are sort of plinky and sound like a child's jack-in-the-box. This one is very sweet and takes you back to another time.
I have a Regina too! Inherited from my grandmother but listening to it my whole life. I also inherited a dresser full of the records...too many to count.
@ferociousgumby Thank you, glad you liked it. I feel the same way. Just LOVE this music box. It has a resonance and fullness of sound that many other music boxes don't come close to, and thrills me every time I listen to it. And it sounds oh, so much better in person!

No, the music box is not sold yet. I will try to make a video of the last 10 disks -- or what I can fit (TH-cam has a 10-minute time limit). You have good ears! The birds you hear in the background are Lady Gouldian Finches, which I raise. I have a cage that is right next to the music box, and when I play it, they just love to sing along. I will try to include a view of them with next video. -Thanks for viewing, and glad you liked my videos.
Yes, I'd love to hear also the rest of your discs, and I don't believe, that you have to go over the limit, cause they are only 10. - I must have good ears, cause I'm a "blinduser", as I wrote into the description of my first video. So far you can only know that, but in my next videos, where you can see me too, you will see it. Regards from my 143 music boxes (9 are antique disc boxes) and me to your nice finches and you.
Hey, that's great. Is the machine already sold, or is there a possibility to hear the last 10 discs too? The little bird in the background is also nice. - I have also a video here with a cylinder music box, that doesn't belong to me - my first one. - Regards JochenKopf

Oh, I wish I had the money for this machine! It would be my pride and joy! Oh well, maybe one day. :)

Try ebay and Meekins Music Boxes. They are rare and beautiful and so are the prices.
