President Gustave Adolf Brachhausen Born Saxony Germany 1860 This Photo 1892 In 1894, Brachhausen officially inaugurated The Regina music box Company which would soon become an entity independent of Polyphone. By the time The Regina music box Co. Was founded, the music box industry had already made great strides-evolving from music boxes that contained a single cylinder dotted with metal pins to those with Interchangeable cylinders and, eventually, to those that played interchangeable discs, making it possible to tailor the music to suit any occasion. The Regina music box Company basically followed the industry standard, tweaked it and executed it better than its competitors. Among the Regina music boxes more significant improvements were the introduction of stronger spring-wound motors that could play for a longer time before they required rewinding and the placement of the machine's sounding board on the top to increase volume called a short bedplate.
