The Musical Box Society have a great series of short documentaries on the history of mechanical musical instruments on U Tube.

Its similar information as at the musical mechanical museum in Holland, but much more convenient! Well worth a good look, there are some fascinating characters. In this first documentary I particularly like the statement made that before the industrial revolution craftsmen polished even the very inside of the machines, even parts which no one would see. I can only hope to reach that level of good craftsman ship!
