Over view and history
Thorens, founded in 1883 in Ste. Croix, Switzerland by Hermann Thorens, is renowned for producing high-quality music boxes and later record players. Their metal disc music boxes became popular in the late 19th and 20th centuries, particularly models like the AD30 and AD30W, featuring automatic winding mechanisms and the ability to play multiple songs
. These music boxes operate similarly to a record player, using clockwork mechanisms powered by a wind-up key that turns a gear to rotate the metal discs over a comb of tuned teeth, producing notes as pins on the discs pluck the comb
