Restoring The Magic Of Music Boxes - The Original Georgia Traveler WSB-TV [Music Box Restoration]

The magic of music boxes is the sound. The combination of melody and mechanics has never been equaled. Music box restoration is a miracle. That's why David and Carol Beck are so important. They are one of the top restorers of antique cylinder and disc musical boxes in the world. Music boxes were invented in the 1790s and became more and more elaborate as the years went by. By the early 1900s you could change metal disks to play different songs. Restoring musical boxes is a mixture of music, engineering, ingenuity and lots and lots of patience. When Carol and David need a part, they make it. Their small shop in Atlanta, Ga is never silent for long. That's part of the joy of restoring the magic of music boxes.
