We want to thank Hanneke Debie who wrote this extensive music box guide to include the most commonly asked questions about the paper strip music boxes, which are also known as “hand cranked music boxes” and “paper roll music box”.

In this guide, Hanneke tells us where you can find the paper strip music boxes, the types of them, how you can compose music for them and punch holes correctly, where to find melodies, how to repair the mechanical parts of the music box movement, and other tips and tricks learned from our MBM community.

Creepy carillon melody from TV serie "From"

I tried to reproduce the music played by the cursed carillon from the season 2 of "From".
This is what I've done so far: https://musicboxmaniacs.com/explore/melody/unknown-artist-untitled_148602/

But I'm not entirely satisfied with the result... Could someone give me a clue or try to emprove this music maybe? I'm definetly not an expert ^^'

Thanks in advance!

Slipping Problem

Hi everyone! I have a problem with a 30 note music box. After a few uses of a strip it started to slip sometimes from the moving mechanism. Is this common with this type of music boxes? Do anyone have the same problem? Any solutions?
