In Acme, Michigan, just a few minutes from downtown Traverse City is a place called the Music House Museum. Amand and I visited the museum as part of our sight-seeing during our honeymoon. It was easily the highlight of our tourism. Mike, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and made the event informative and entertaining too. I'm not just advertising here, these really are awesome pieces of musical history that play...so they aren't just history, it's a rare type of musical performance. This place needs to be seen and respected, so at least you can get a taste with these videos...but you really should check it out. Anybody interested in the history of recorded sound needs to start here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And last but not least, for me, the highlight of the tour. The Aeolian Duo-Art Reproducing Piano.
