My name is Brooke. I am new to the music box world. I really want to either make or have a music box made for a very special person in my life. The vision I have for this music box is that the case would be made out of resin with decorative inlays and the music box itself would be programmed to play the first few measures of Clair de Lune. I'd want a music box that could be hand-cranked so the person I'm giving it to can choose how slow or fast to play it.
Is there anyone out there who would be able to help me create this music box? I have no experience so I'd prefer not to have to make the music box myself. I see the person I'm giving this to in mid-November so I have a bit of time.
If there's not anyone who can create the entire music box (program and resin casing), I'm up to working with someone who can just program the music box. And if that's not possible, I need guidance on how to get started purchasing and programming the music box myself.
Hi Brooke, although I cannot help with the creation of the box itself, I can certainly help with the arrangement and with any questions about the process. You can contact me via Fiverr or email in my bio if interested.
Sorry to solicit on your post lol but I too am looking for help. I was wonder it’s if anyone knew the chords for “wouldn’t it be nice” by The Beach Boys. I’m new too and don’t know how to do this lol
You can post something under Melody requests, Mtorino88 :)
As for the OP: with a handcranked musicbox which uses the paper strips as input, getting the melody in the box is relatively easy - but you'll need help indeed to design the music box arrangement.
As for the box itself; the music box can be scewed into a wooden box - I know a few can be found on amazon. All the handcranked music boxes have a couple of screw holes in the base that you can use to attach it to something. What you are looking for sounds like a custom job. You could try your luck on etsy. Or you could try to look up craftspeople who can create such an item. For example - I have a handcrafted wooden box myself, sourced from a local woodworker.

Looks like there are a lot of that Beach Boy song if you add the word Clone to the search.
