MMD Archives December 1995 1995.12.28 02 Prev  Next Dual Disk Porter Music Boxes By Jack Hardman Terry Smythe asked about Dwight Porter's Twin Disk box. Yes Dwight does build a twin disk version of his 15-1/2" 'Regina'-type music box. I saw and played one recently while visiting Walt Bellm in Sarasota. The two program disks contained the same program rather than separate coordinated programs as found on the 'Eroica' for example where 3 separate disks with 3 separate complimentary programs played in synchronization for a wonderful orchestrated big sound. I say Dwight does build the 3-disk; maybe I should have said he DID since I have no first hand knowledge that he still makes them. As always Dwight's workmanship was outstanding on Walt's machine.
