Cylinder Man


They are a city tradition you can see them in many places in the city parks, markets, outside subway stations. they are normally two guys, one who plays the music box by turning a handle like winding it up and other collects the tips, however this form of entertainment is going extinct due to the fact that people don't tip them the way they used to because of the bad economy and the machines were built in the beginning of the 20th century in Germany so there aren't many spare parts available when they brake down.
I hope this guys never go out of business and remain for more years to come so the next generations can enjoy the sounds of these musical boxes.
