Seek Composers and Dates of Musical Box Tunes
By Phil Procter

Has anyone ever compiled an computer database of tune titles used
on musical boxes?  What I am after is something to quickly tell me
by who the tune was composed and more, importantly, in what year.

I have numerous cylinder boxes in my collection for which I need to
determine the age and maker; knowing the latest tune date would help
in deciding the earliest date the box could have been made.  I know
a lot of information can be had by doing a "Google" search or similar,
but a definitive list would be much easier to use.  Does it already
exist, or am I hoping for the impossible?

Thanks
Phil Procter
