As a present to my grandad (age 94) I said I would repair an old porcelain rotating figurine of his which his now deceased wife (my grandma) once loved . After some research I need to replace the mechanism with an 18 note "magic flute" by Mozart. The one inside is badly broke and I just cant fix it even with hours of work on it. The cylinder just wont be seated when I try to mount the winding mechanism on. Its now in pieces.
There doesn't seem to be any available online, Does anyone know of a seller? They are very cheap (eBay etc) but I cant find "magic flute" and this is really essential for him. Any other ideas much appreciated.
Hi all, I'm working on a birthday gift for my fiancé and need some help. I want to make a music box with a specific tune from his favorite game, and bought the Kikkerland 15-note kit. I have experience reading/writing music, but realized after the fact that the song has some parts that walk down chromatically for three notes, and I can't figure out if it's possible to make them work! Is there a way to fake/transcribe enough to get around the "no black keys on the piano" format of a 15-note, or should I upgrade to a 30 and try it there? Thank you!!
I've just completed what I believe to be the longest DIY music box ever made: all 6 minutes of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." (If anyone knows of a longer one, please let me know!)
How do you play the violin (classic example of very long notes)? do you play the note only once when the original starts or do you play it consecutively as long as the original note last?
My music box doesn't feed the paper through it. When I try to spin the gears, the gears spin but the music doesn't move. I've had this problem after I first got my 30 note music box, and my solution was to just kind of press down on the top spinning part of the music box a bit, but I'm sure that's not what I'm supposed to do. I first thought that maybe the gears were broken, but they were spinning fine. I then thought that the paper I was using was probably too thin, so I bought card stock instead. That worked for a little bit, until it didn't. I'm not sure what to do. Should I try to look for thicker paper, or modify my music box in some way? if anyone can lend me some advice, that would be much appreciated!
