Hello,

I have an old music box lullaby I dont know the name of which I want to know, but there is a small problem; 2 of the metal teeth have broken off, which causes online tools like shazam or aha music not to recognize it. I have also searched a few lists of lullaby songs to see if I could recognize it from there, but I didnt succeed.
Is there anyone who either knows where I can go to with this specific problem, or knows a lot of lullabies who might be able to recognize the song theirselves?

My import seems ok and when I "play" it on the web site, it sounds fine. When I publish it and print the strips, you have to crank like crazy to make it sound reasonable. It is in 3/4 and is a lullaby but the poor kid might grow up before the piece is completed. Any suggestions on how I can condense the published strip so that it plays faster on the music box without a wrist sprain?

most of the tunes i play on my Music Box are very slow. How do i speed it up... i can only turn the handle so fast... some of the tunes dont sound good either with a slow BPM

Can you add an option for the editor for AI to convert your mobile files into music boxified files. I tried using an apple file to MIDI but it’s no use. Please add that in case some Google users are mobiles!

I present you my app to generate 3d model of a music box drum with your custom music.

You can export MIDI directly from MBM and create your custom music boxes!

UPD Jun 28: I've just released a new version with the web interface, so you no longer need to know how to use command line interface apps to build your own drum.

I would like to transfer 3 songs to a new music box for my beloved on her birthday next month. But I know nothing about music editions. How can I convert a song to MP3 and then adapt it for a music box?

Please help: This site does not seem to have the "CREATE" for 32 notes MURO Box

Does anyone know of they make wind up attachments for the DYI hand crank music boxes? I do not want to crank, I want to wind

Hi guys

Even though this forum is about paper music boxes I have a question which I believe should relate to all music boxes. Its super simple yet I have been googling for several days with no luck. Its about writing for music box.

What does the number really mean in the music box type? 15-note, 18-note, 30-note etc., etc.

I had understood it meant the total number of individual combs. So I wrote a piece for three voices for an 18-note box (not paper) that stayed within the range of 17 notes. I sent it to someone to prototype so i could make 100 or so to sell at my shows. She said it could not be made as written. She did not say why.

So that being said - it stayed within 17 notes.
So does the number refer to the absolute length of a song? 15 total notes whether repeated or not?

Was my melody too high perhaps
I am really excited about my music boxes its been a project in my mind for a number of years and yet very hard to find info.

Hello,

Im new to the forums.

So bassically i had 10 custom 30 note music boxes made. I believe there sankyo movements.

When i got them after listening for awhile i feel like the temp of my movement is too slow?

Everything sounds good note wise but i just want to speed up the tempo.

Is there anyone with advice or info?
