All the 30-note crank mechanisms for sale via the store link have plastic gears (and users complaining they break). Except ONE that has copper gears, but... it will not play what we compose/transcribe here, because it is not tuned c d g a b c d e f f# g g# a a# b c c# d d# e f f# g g# a a# b c d e... Identifying the right combo and adding a link to it would be a great help! Alternatively, could the "create" page allow to toggle between "c" and "f" options/tunings, as they seem to be called informally?

I want to make a music box for my friends B-Day. I found the notes here but I'm not sure which Notes / Music box (Kikkerland, grand illusion, wintergatan) I need.
It says: Type = Full range 60 But I don't know what this means and which box and notes are the right one.

It should be as similar to the example here as possible. Should I choose a different song? Or will it be possible

Can someone help me?
Thanks :)

I made a little song in an app called medly, and it lets you export it as a midi file. I wanted this song to be played with a music box-type sound, and I found this website which says it can import midi, so I was really excited! But... I can’t figure out how to import it.

What method do you guys use to get the printer paper exports onto card stock? I've tried laminating the printer paper with packing tape, taping 3 sheets of printer paper together, etc, without much success. I was wondering if I could use a glue stick and just glue the sheets to card stock but thought that might be too thick and am hoping that asking here will save much time experimenting.

Today I dissected my 30 note music box completely and found pieces of tape from the topmost, F# to the bottom-most note, C. I have no clue why the tape is there and I want to know if it is safe to remove.

How do I improve the sound of a 30 note music box? Does the type of wood that I will be using plays a big part on improving sound or not? Because I am considering finding a plastic box that can fit the 30 note music box

So, I have a melody called Can't Help It - Anarbor that says it was published on 1/31/19, which it was, but it doesn't show up at the top of my melodies where the latest melodies go. Rather, it sorts itself somewhere in the middle of June when I sort my melodies by "latest". I'm guessing this is a bug?
