The Legendary Porter Music Boxes

A Porter Music Box brings the splendor of antiquity and the music loved by generations to your home or business in one exquisite piece. Fashioned after the heirlooms of Victorian Europe and America, Porters are world renowned for blending the grace and elegance of fine furnishing with the moving tone and depth of superior musical instruments.

Porters are the largest disc style music boxes in manufacture today, each component handcrafted and assembled in Randolph, Vermont. To control precision and quality, Porter craftsmen finely machine the musical combs and other works in Porter's own shop, using advanced CNC lathes and premium quality tools. This attention to detail is the secret to Porter's trademark sound of multiple octaves and rich harmonic resonance. Encased in beauty, Porter Music Boxes are cradled in cabinets imported exclusively from Italy. Each work of art features intricate inlays of the finest woods.

Beyond question, this is the world's finest music box available. The twin disc's unique stereo synchronization raises the the music's richness, volume, and brilliance to a level unsurpassed by any music box yet created. To capture this musical rarity, every Porter stereo cassette and compact disc is recorded from the Porter family's own Twin Disc instrument.

The handsome exterior features the same exquisite wood inlays and elegant styling distinguished on Porter's other models, making this box as beautiful to view as it is to hear.

The unique stereo sound of the Porter Twin Disc is the product of four musical combs, playing a total of 304 teeth on two carefully synchronized 15 1/2" copper-plated discs specially crafted to ensure consonance. The fine clockworks also exemplify a unique Porter design, synchronizing each musical bedplate for optimum performance in every 20-minute winding.

A unique soundboard is responsible for each instrument's rich tone. Soundboards are so essential, in fact, Porter's own Twin Disc is custom fitted with three to enhance the quality of recordings and capture the thrilling harmonies of five octaves in exact stereo--the unmistakable distinction of a Porter Twin Disc Music Box.
