A music box can be interpreted in various ways. One in which its place as an automatic musical instrument. It produces sound from a finely tuned comb, struck by a set of pins that protrude from a rotating cylinder. The term used for the mechanism that produces the melody in a music box is referred to as a “mechanical movement” or “musical movement”. They can vary in physical size and playing time. Depending how many teeth are on the comb (music notes) a single tune (1 full revolution) can play anywhere from 12 seconds up to 50 seconds with a running play time of a few minutes up to half an hour!
Here at Music Box Attic, we offer a range of musical movements. Beginning at the standard 18 note movement up to a 144 note masterpiece. The exact range of musical movements are 18, 23, 30, 36, 3.36, 50, 72, 144 notes.
As you begin to trek through the world of music boxes, you will notice a more profound auditory experience when scaling upwards towards the larger size musical movements. The differences in sound and structure will become apparent. A good analogy for comparison is similar to a piano performance of a novice enthusiast versus a classical virtuoso! Think of the standard 18 note movement as an outline of a tune. It’s just the right amount of notes to be recognizable. Move over to a 72 note movement and you’ll find yourself engulfed in precise arrangement perfectly laid out to reproduce the feel of concertos and operas.
Here is an example of Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune". Below you will find a music clip of 18 – 50 note versions of the melody.
What Is A Custom USB Module?
The "Custom Music Box Module" is one of the newest creations combining tradition and cutting edge technology from Music Box Attic. It is the most popular way of inserting any song, sound or recording into any box you want (yours or ours). Available for nearly all of our boxes. Find the box you want, follow few easy steps to customize with your song.
Benefits of the Digital Module
How to Order
Convert original to Music Box Sound
We are offering an option to take your song and convert it to sound like a traditional music box melody (still in digital format). Your tune will be converted note by note to sound just like a mechanical movement music box, but better, due to the flexibility of the module as well as software sound enhancement. Here are two examples of the previous conversions of songs that our musician has done:
Find many converted songs you can use on our Listening Library or Youtube Song Search
We also suggest browsing for your song on YouTube to see if it has already been converted, this way you can get the music box sound but not pay the additional $75.
How Will My Song Sound?
How long does it take?
Usually about 1 to 2 days, add the conversion and add another day. But we can usually be done within a day outside of the busy holiday season.
