I'd LOVE to hear Tim playing a piano.

Isn't it ironic that we have powerful, miniaturized computers that are amazingly complex, yet we seem to enjoy simple mechanical machines like this much more.

Probably because we can actually see the mechanics and movement and it’s much easier to understand whereas the average person has no idea how a computer actually works

That's not irony. I enjoy the music box because it adds a tactile factor to my composing, and I enjoy the computers because they allow me to realise entire orchestral works.

i must say after watching a few of you videos, i seem to very much like you voice, and you elegance in approaching minor and overlooked gadgets

Absolutely thrilled about this. Thanks for making it, or obtaining it. Your 20-note box has been a favorite hobby of mine for years now.

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. What a perfect present

Wow indeed sir. That was gorgeous.

today i was looking for a music box, a programmable music box. And i found this one. 30 notes. I thought it was a brand new thing. Then i saw this video and thought: man, i am getting old.

Just subscribed today. Thank you for sharing your love of these little devices.

Whoops. Sorry about that. Fixed now.

Thank you!

Well that was just delightful.

i bought this from you guy awhile back, very cool Little toy. very cool keep up the great work

marvelous.

Tim! I just bought this one from your online toy shop for my dad for Father’s Day! But there’s a condition: he has to share it with me 😉

That is great! I've been holding off buying the previous version precisely because it did not allow me to operate in the full range. I'm a musician and would like to use it in some of my songs. Great to know this is now a reality

Cool looking peice

I have weird idea how to make "player" out of it with little electric motor and looooong sheet-playlist.

Nice music

I have a music box like this that plays What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong (I punched it out myself)

I agree with Google Plus. Video!

The scale is F.G.C.D.E.F.G.A.Bb.B.C.Db.D.Eb.E.F.Gb.G.Ab.A.Bb.B.C.Db.D.Eb.E.F.G.A. This can be transposed into any key you wish. I have arranged many tunes including some great Scott Joplin on mine!

Hi - I have one of these 30 note music boxes but I'm really struggling to transpose music into appropriate keys for it. Have you got any tips? Are there any particular key signatures that you think it works particularly well with. I'd be very grateful for any advice, my music theory is pretty limited... Elliott

Elliott Fisher The trick is to transpose the instrument and not the music!!! Mark the instrument's notes on a length of card so they sit above the relevant notes on the piano keyboard ( note; the key-tails of a piano keyboard are equi-spaced. Put the card strip behind the black notes so it sits vertically ). Then move the strip either up or down by a few notes so it sits above the notes used by the sheet music you are using. When you have reached the correct position, use these marked notes as the new scale for your instrument. Easy!

Thanks for that - I'll use your method next time!

Nice video of a cool mechanical novdlty.

Which "accidentals" are missing? I can hear there's no F# in the middle, which other notes are unavailable? Also, is there a full chromatic version?

Thanks for the video! :) BTW where can you buy the resonance box?

They should make a more completely Chromatic version like a 36, 37 or even more notes like the Super Chromatic Music Box.

Swan Lake on a music box sounds an awful lot like Harry Potter.

It's because off 1:03

I like Swan Lake, pretty badass.

1:22 is what plays whenever Tim enters or leaves a room.

Can u make one that goes around like a record ?

Could I purchase a timer to adjust to this music box so I don't have to tire my hands?

Subscribed :)

What is exactly the range of the music box? Does it play all flats and sharps of a scale, or just some of them? Because it says it has a range of just over 3 octaves, but if it plays all flats and sharps, that would be only 2 and a half octaves.

Can you put the 15 note music bix paper in there

Could you update the link to your shop please. Thanks.

I have the original but the plastic gears eventually got stripped, any tips how i could fix it?

Great toy, uploaded my first music box video!

How does it work?

This thing is awesome..... but expensive! ($60 US dollars??)

He's like the British version of Mr Rogers!

It will kill you to operate when you are getting a little bit older. There is no need to enjoy music like this harsh way. There are thousands of better way to enjoy the music. I suggest you to have the music recorded and then input the recording sound to computer and then lie down to enjoy the music done by your sweet hand work.
