Remember, it's not a precursor to audio recording, it's a precursor to midi files.

The funny part is, nowadays there are musicboxes that work with midi files as input, instead of disks, cillinders or paper rolls. So it has come full circle I guess.

I love all those antique music boxes! Their complex sounds sure beat the little musical jewelry boxes with the spinning ballerinas or the wind-up musical toys. Interesting that a German marching song was used. It sounds more Christmas-y than military.

They have a wider comb, so they can do more complex songs since they have better range. Not to mention the huge metal disk in place of the usual cylinder. Toys and jewelry boxes couldn't fit that stuff.

My mother and I visited a friend. He played his Regina Music Box in perfect condition. It was beautiful and I was surprised how loud it was for being a music box. He also had a very rare player grand piano that you also wound up. It played beautifully! They have both passed on now to the greatest of places, and this brings back the pleasant memory to focus on. Thanks Durbeck von Wyman!!

Interesting to hear it as a melody piece; I'm so used to hearing it as a soldiers' song (which it is, and a good one - I'm just going to search for some now), but nice to hear this version. Lovely box - thanks for sharing! P. S.: I've often wondered: other than the printing on the top surface, do the discs have a way of knowing where the start is - or could you load one part way through? I notice the boxes always have a sort of clunk and stop at the end. (Oh - this one doesn't clunk. But still stops.)

@@mattmarzula Thanks for that; now you mention it, I can see the oval slot in this clip. And presumably that's what stops the player at the end, too.

who even needs vinyl,,,, this is beautiful =) im impressed as if it was a easter miracle,, and this is 200 years later after its creation.

Love the quality of the sound of this music box. Incredible!

Music boxes have such a cute nostalgic sound

If it's anything like a Victrola, that clunk sound at 1:28 means the spring motor needs to be cleaned out and have fresh grease applied.

"You collect vintage vinyl? That's cute."

Beautiful music box! What a treasure ❤️

Sounds lovely. Jack Benny used to write music on these discs by pinning one to the wall and shooting it with a shotgun.

I can not tell you the absolute joy I get from properly functioning historical items, I couldn't wait for you to start the music.

really appreciate that the owner of this box still use it instead putting it in a glass box letting it collecting dust.

So Yale’s alma mater used the melody to Die Wacht am Rhein - called “Bright College Years” They’d play this in graduation, etc. but also there’s a huge carrillon in a big watchtower, and they’d play it quite often and you can hear it. Listening to his music box instantly brought me back to a hung over Sunday morning in New Haven

Thank you for the beautiful music.

What beautiful sound! I was amazed at how _rich_ the tones were! I had expected the sound to be much tinnier. 🥰

Que aparelho incrivel e mais incrivel é ser tão antigo e de precisão! Seus inventores realmente eram muito criativos!!

imagine hearing this as a kid in the 1800s

If you think about it, this is digital. Each hole represents either a one or zero either a note is played or it isn’t there is no in between therefore with the rightcom and the correct spacing of each hole the music will be reproduced perfectly with no generational loss.

It's crazy how much man has progressed in just the last ±100 years alone.
