Myth
has it that the first music box was designed for the amusement and entertainment
of Marie Antoinette. But history reveals that musical clocks were constructed
in the 16th century for royalty and the wealthy. The musical tones were
derived by notching a revolving disc striking a single pin. The music box
proper was introduced by Antoine Favre, a Swiss watchmaker, in 1796, enabling
the middle class to dance and enjoy the popular music of the period in
the privacy of their homes. The latter half of the 19th century rewarded
the world with the enchanting melodies of the disc player, the predecessor
of the contemporary phonograph, tapes and discs. These instruments were
not only produced in Europe, but had great success by American manufacturers.
