Another interesting place we visited in Switzerland was the music museum in Baud.  This mureum featers a collevtion of music boxes through to the original first grammaphones of the vynal record era.  The impression these intricate intruments left on me was that the computure in rythmic fashion was indeed already designed in the late eighteen hundreds.  Let me show a few of these fascinating instruments.

The classical and better known music box

The heavy punched cardboard paper music producer

Light weight punched paper music score

The the forerunner of the vynal record, a metal disc with holes punched to allow the music bars to produce the chosen tune.

Could this music maker be the advent of the later telex ticker tape and card computer?

And finally this one needs no introduction I hope.  The old grammaphone, vynal disc and wooden needle.

Amazing how precise every needle, metal spike and punched…
