4 comments about The Musical Box: A Guide for Collectors : Including a Guide to Values.

  1. Great reference book. Massive number of pictures, specs, histories, drawings and detailed information.


  2. A wonderful book with great photographs and information.


  3. As others have said, this profusely illustrated book tells you everything you might want to know about music boxes. As a beginning collector, I bought it to learn about the subject; steeling myself to deal with one of those dull scholarly tomes. I need not have worried. It is not only a technically rich resource, it is written with light-hearted style and grace and is a pleasure to read.


  4. Ord-Hume presents an exhaustive work on the subject of music box collecting. This book has almost everything you need to know including identification of tune-sheets, manufacturers, music box styles and types. He includes a guide to values which is probably already out-dated, but it gives a good idea of what different boxes are worth.

    If you want to know what a rigid formation box is, it's in there. If you want to know the difference between a mandoline box and a organeoclide, you'll learn it there. It's an excellent reference book, and I even read it as I would a novel, it's that well presented.

2 comments about Music Boxes: The Collector's Guide to Selecting, Restoring, and Enjoying New and Vintage Music Boxes.

  1. I collect antique music boxes and have several books on the subject. I would say that around 90% of this book is devoted to modern toys and there is mere lip service to the exquisite machines from which they were derived.

    I also found it personally insulting that he claims to include restoration. If I tried to restore a music box after his instructions I would end up with a pile of parts and their condition would be irreperable--more damage than help.



  2. This book is not what I expected.The content is not very informative and it lacks any real knowledge of collecting music boxes.

1 comments about Making Marvelous Music Boxes.

  1. This book is a very good teacher for making music boxes, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert. It talks about the peices used for music boxes and has easy step-by-step instructions. The book has photographs and drawings for each music box, and also alternate ideas for each box. I recommend this book even if you don't want to make one because of the interesting facts and pictures.
