Album Notes

Founded in 1974 by Dwight and Mary Porter, The Porter Music Box Co. revitalized the music box industry by manufacturing the first large disc style music box in the United States in over Fifty years. In 1975 Dwight produced his first large disc music box. With their first recording done in 1981 business boomed. In 1986, after the release of five recordings, Dwight introduced the 12 1/4 Swan Elite Music Box - it was an instant success. By 1996 Porter Music Box Co. had released twenty-six titles since that first one in the early eighties. After twenty year of producing their handmade music boxes Porter Music Box Co. opened their own Museum on December 22, 1994. The Porters welcome visitors from around the World, as all is welcome to home in Vermont. We look forward to your visit.
