John Williams is a genius, and this arrangement is an attempt to capture the magnificent orchestration within the 30 notes of my GI30 (check the original version conducted by the composer himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps1-YlB1TIQ). I am a flutist and for sure that biased my arrangement. Have in mind some of the ritardandos will have to be performed using your crank and I had to shorten the fermatas in order to fit the 2048 notes limit of the website. That said, I quite like the result :)

Yay! It looks like this melody can be played offline on a 30 note paper strip music box!

All you need to do is:

Get a 30 note DIY Music Box Kit from our online store page if you don't have one
Export the melody to PDF with paper strips, print it out and cut with scissors. Make sure to use the right paper size and set you printer scale to 100%, otherwise the size won't match. It's better when paper strips are thick, so if you are going to use thin office paper, we recommend you to glue two or three layers together. Another option is to laminate paper strips with a transparent duct tape
Punch holes with a tool from the music box kit
Enjoy your favorite melody playing on a real music box!
