First post - what a great website. I saw Martha Wainwright using a punch card music box and was fascinated by them.

Metal or nylon gears?

15 or 30 pins?

And which has the 'best' sound??

Thanks and best wishes from a storm hit Scotland!

This is my first time ever composing and immediately running into a problem. How do I make sharps using a 15 note. Is it a combination of other notes? I really have no background in music theory and just a point in a direction would be amazing. Thanks

Hi everyone, is there anyone who is making wholes into blank paper if I send you materials?

Thanks!

Hi, I am new here! :)

My wife wants to sew a custom stuffed animal we want to give to a child as a gift. We want to put a music box inside that plays a very specific melody we cannot buy anywhere on the web.

Because of the use case, a default music box with punchcards is not usable for us. Is there a way to obtain a "raw" music box for stuffed animals and bring our own melody to it?

Greetings,
Chris :)

I would like to get a second paper punch to keep at work for when I want to punch a song at lunchtime.
When I make one as a Valentine's day card for my wife, I like to do it at work.
Anyone know where to buy the paper punch by itself?
I want to keep one here at work so I don't have to transport it around.

I made a Jelly Biscuit music box composer strip. Is there any way to import that into this web site?

Has anyone experienced the paper jamming when using the motorised 30 note music mechanism from China? Any ideas how to make it grab better? one needs to pull it through to help it it work. I've seen some people use these and it works fine.

I found a music box in my home, I'm not sure where it came from and I'v never seen it before.The top of the box pictures two little girls with black bows in their hair wearing dresses and one plus holding a bouquet of flowers
