Phil, The music imprinted on the Regina disk looks like a saucer used for sled riding on snow. One disk contains one song. Very similar in theory to a pneumatic player roll..one roll for song and the respective holes punched out in the paper determine what notes are played. The Regina disk has raised chads which determine what note/s are played. The Regina, and I'm not anything close to being versed at the accurately describing the mechanism, appears to use a series of bells/ chimes/glockenspiels for it's means to create music. It's a very impressive sound. Apparently these are extremely rare to find, even more rare to find one in good working order.
