gotta say, re-reading this, at the point myblackhen said sahe had had a hurdy gurdy herself, all seemed fine, then she was told not to show herself up' and it all went downhill. This is the genealogy topic guys, we don;t tend to spat in here.

no need, but myblackhen was correct in her thought on the hurdy gurdy toy having pierced card, and you can imagine a larger adult version was being made for commercial music machines, similar to that, in the 1900s. I certainly knew what she was trying to describe,

I do think it was half and half this time Shari, sorry.
My nan had a Hirdy Gurdy wind up thing too. That's what she called it and I never heard it called anything else.
