According to the website, I can print the hole punch cut out. When comparing it to my strips however, the size is one cell too small. I want to be able to print the strips, and tape them on my roll of strip so I can punch the holes and remove it after, but the strips don't fit.

here's an image of me comparing the strips I use to the printed guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ikvvvVKOURC2SCxWnUoIfl1G80dnP67-/view?usp=sharing

What can I do to fix this? By the way, I am printing with a Brother HL-L2360D Series Printer and have tried many settings to get them to fit. But I get that close with my scale as Actual Size (100%) and am printing on a paper size of Letter. And yes, I am exporting the PDF as Letter. So, it should fit...! I think it's because my music box accepts wider strips, so I can't just use the PDF from here. If anyone can help, please do. I have been trying to solve this for over a year now...

Hi everyone! I have a problem with a 30 note music box. After a few uses of a strip it started to slip sometimes from the moving mechanism. Is this common with this type of music boxes? Do anyone have the same problem? Any solutions?

Hi,

I just recently bought a music box for my girlfriend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary coming up. However, when I received it, I opened it up to listen to the quality of the music.

The quality sounds absolutely fantastic, but there's a noise that's holding the quality back from being perfect. There's a tingy noise that plays before and after some of the notes. It almost sounds like some of the combs are gently scraping against the wheel.

Does anyone have experience with this? If so, what should I do?

I would post a video, but I don't see any media attach option on this forum. I just created this account to address this specific reason.

I recently bought a 30-note music box from ebay, the kind which lets you make your own song sheets and play them. What bothers me is that some notes make a slight buzzing sound, as if theyre touching something, and sometimes the notes dont ring out completely. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd add a video but there isn't an option to do that.

Hi Forum,
title says everything - Where can I buy the Musicbox in C? Its seems it is everywhere in F to find.
kind regards

Hi all.
I'm new at this, so maybe anyone is familar with this issue and knows what to do.

I got "Celin Dion - My heart will go on" song file sample (from seller), marked and punched wholes (i got 30 notes Wingostore music box). Then played couple times - it sounded perfect.
However, later when I tried to play one more time, begining was ok, but ending was like from horror movie.
I analysed and find out, that paper strip moved a bit (1-2 mm) to one side (and wholes as well), so that was the reason.
Paper strip side isn't damaged (at least i dont see).

Any suggestion, what to do?

hi I'm very new to music box and also music theory.
I'm trying to arrange the melody from music sheet into
30 tone music box melody,but as you know some keys are not avaliable

are there anyway you mix two notes to gether to create subtitue for the note??
for example i want to put c4#

some time i bring up the whole room one octave but i'm still curious if there's any method avaliable

thank you so much!
ps. english is not my first languge sorry for any grammar mistake

i'm marking the notes on my 30 note strip paper, and since I don't really understand music, i'm just following the PDF made for my song.
on the website's template, the note is D, but when I count by lines, it gets to D#. is it supposed to be like that?
sorry for the silly question lol i fr don't understand much about it

After months of experimenting, I've finally found the right combination of machine, paper, and software to automatically cut music box strips, rather than having to punch the holes by hand. This process utilizes a consumer-level Cricut cutting machine. I've made a tutorial video that walks you through the process:

I was inspired by previous Wintergatan attempts, but this approach is much cleaner, more user friendly, and even incorporates the Cricut's drawing function to decorate the music box strips. I'm happy to answer any questions, if you have them.

Hi! I'm a long time user of this site and I'm so glad it exists, but there's one thing bothering me: landscape A4 paper can fit just about 3 lines of 30 notes music paper, however, the pdf exports has margins that makes the prints only 2 lines tall, leaving a huge margin at the bottom.
