The Music Box

As a child my baby brother loved his music box. He would say, "Bear" and before the song ended, would be fast asleep.

Now a beautiful Christmas treasure.

Music boxes were invented in the late 18th in Switzerland. It was the first time a device successfully played music .

These first boxes were designed to play music using flat metal prongs that were plucked by a revolving metal cylinder.
