Tell me more about Cotton Mechanical Music Museum
On the floor beneath, the organs are housed, some with their pipes reaching to the rafters, fairground organs with the names of their famous makers emblazoned on them, reed organs, barrel organs, player organs and the gigantic cafe organ.
Next to them, the street pianos produce their characteristic sound and the pianolas bring back to life music of bygone days.
The smaller instruments are in abundance too-the musical boxes, polyphones and organettes charm the listener with their bright cheerful music and lurking in corners are the unusual: a musical Christmas tree, a musical chair, nursey toys and much more.
