Hello,
I have a question maybe stupid but I'm new here.
I have a 15 notes music box and I have a 104 holes paper strips as everyone I guess.
I find some songs but there are too longs in terms of paper; have for example 96 notes but need 120 holes for did that.
Here an example:

Exist a way to reduce that for fit the music to 104 holes? Maybe I bought the worng paper...
Thank you very much really :)

Does anyone know how long a Kikkerland 15 strip is? Not in dimensions, but in the measurement this site uses for length. For example: when you create a melody on this site, the default length is 256, or 32 measures of 4/4 time.

I have researched endlessly for a music box that will allow me to select my song without any availability. Is there anyone on this forum that actually makes customized music boxes?

Hey, one of my smallest gears broke on my 30 note, I have a replacement, but how do I safely dismantle it?

Hi where can i buy replacement gear for a 30 note music box, i had one of my gears teeth broken

The original MIDI file was in Eb minor, and I shift it into Bb minor with Sibelius, but when I created a piece of work on MUSCIBOXMANIACS importing the modified MIDI file, it changed into Eb minor, I want to how I can change the tonality correctly? I guess each note in modified MIDI file wasn't changed, I just changed the tonality of the MIDI, and the website just extracted the original pitch.

I got my 30notes music box yesterday, It worked perfectly until I got curious about how it works
and rotated some of the note gears with my hand... Was I not supposed to do that?? Now some of the notes doesn't play. Randomly. Sometimes they works just well, sometimes it doesn't. Is there any way to recover...??

Hi guys! So i recently input a song into the online music box melody editor and i noticed some red 'X's ; i understand that those are repetitive notes positioned too close to each other and music boxes may not be able to play them. But is there a way to rectify it? like changing its position but simultaneously not affecting its melody etc? I do not have any music background so I'm quite confused and do not know how to make it work. Would really appreciate any help!! Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I recently purchased the Wingostore 30-note music box from Amazon. The gears are copper and I felt that getting this would last longer and be more durable than the Grand Illusions plastic gears, and likely prevent slippage. Unfortunately after a very short period of time, my gears are making a squeaking noise after every revolution.

Has anyone else experienced this with the copper gear models, and is there a good way to fix this? Is it better to just get the Grand Illusions music box instead?

Thanks!
