Welcome to the National Capital Chapter of Musical Box Society International (MBSI)We meet 3 to 5 times per
year. Meetings are in members homes, at parks or for musical events.
Members often bring guests and we enjoy sharing and learning about
mechanical musical instruments and in socializing. Our "Pot Luck" meals
are always memorable. Our newsletter, "Musical Notes," is mailed four
times per year. Dues are still only $5.00 per year. Membership in the
Musical Box Society International is a requirement for membership in
our chapter.
