Well my friend, thank you for the kind comment but it is actually you that should be celebrated. As a master machinist, you can craft the metal parts using a lathe and other machinist tools. I can craft simple parts and springs but not the more complex parts. Most of the parts on Reuge music boxes are crafted by hand - just like they were in the 1800s. Yes, some parts are made using CNC machines. What really blows me away is on the early 1800s music boxes, the crafters not only made everything by hand (no power either) but they also had to make the tools and machines used to fabricate the parts. I am self-taught and I do not hold myself out to be a master machinest, toolmaker or model maker. Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired.

I love how the mainspring made less than one full turn even after one full cycle through the songs. One full winding can give you 20+ minutes of music.

Correct. The first music boxes were sur plateau (super tiny discs) found mostly in watches and FOBS. Then, cylinder music boxes were invented and were the "only game on town" until the 1880s when Symphonion invented the disc music box. This allowed new discs to be created when new songs were composed. Then came the Gramaphone with a human voice and then LP records. As such, the music box industry basically went away.

Wonderful. Hight qualit

I used to have a musical cuckoo clock with a REUGE 22 notes. Sadly the ratchet went bad, and I could not pull the chain, because if I did, the ratchet would slip and the weight would hit the floor in an instant. But don't worry! I will get it back! Once I do I will video the Reuge inside the clock.

*@Singing bird boxes* 5:12 How does it repeat a song? Does it shift slightly (so the "roll sticks"?) line up with the "holes" between the "music sticks" and it spins faster? (or same speed? or reverses direction?) Also, how does the song-tracker works?

omg it's so beautiful, it makes we want to cry.

How exactly does one fit 4 songs on a cylinder, even after it's gone a full revolution?

Horizontal offset. Shift the cylinder slightly left-right and the picks which were plucking the notes now miss them, but a different set of picks pluck the notes instead. (Apologies to those who know the correct terms. I hope I was clear enough anyway)

what are the 4 song titles? Of course I recognize the melody but no idea what the actual names are. Thanks

I wonder if there are any designs that also vary the length of the pins protruding from the cylinder, to vary the loudness of the note. I feel this would also alter the strike timing of the note, and would require some compensation (quieter notes would need to be pushed correspondingly later, relative to other notes).

@ltva8781

I imagine you can also have a pin that's *just* long enough to touch the prong to stop it vibrating. This could enable different length notes

A fair price for a new Reuge 3/72 is around USD $3,000 - slightly more if the case is really fancy; some of the examples on Amazon are crazy priced. A Reuge 144 is significantly more. That being said, I do have a very good retirement and I also acquire and restore mechanical music pieces so others may enjoy them. I sell most Reuge 3/72 music boxes for between $750 and $1,350 - depending upon the case style and song selection: Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired www.singingbirdbox.com

It is a beautiful piece of work, but then the swiss are known for their craftsmanship. As a cabinet maker I have to say the fact they did not make the slots in the screws that hold the comb line up is a glaring distraction for such an expensive piece.
