In order to create a music box for one specific song, we’ve been developing our drum manufacturing method for 3 years to create a drum without molding but still deliver the same accuracy of the pins in order to build a music box with flawless sound.Ĭomb is a 1mm thick steel plate with 18 teeth ,each representing a note.įor instance, in ‘Senorita’ music box, 18 teeth of comb will be corresponding to these 18 notes respectively.Īs a pin on a rotating drum hits each tooth, the tooth vibrates at specific frequency and gives a sound of the note. So it is more suitable for mass production. But the disadvantage is that the cost of the mold for one specific song can be costly. This method allows the drum to be produced very quickly and accurately.
This will form a button protruding from a flat sheet called pin.Then the steel sheet will be rolled into a cylindrical shape. In general, a flat steel sheet is stamped with a mold. Each company has a different technique to create a drum. The process of creating a drum is very important and is the hardest part in making a music box. The number of rows must be 18, cannot be more or less. Each tooth will give a different note (as in the leftmost column in the figure below). For example ,the layout of the ‘Senario’ song below, the pin is placed in 18 rows, each row hits only one corresponding tooth on the comb. The position of the pin is determined from the computer. The position of the pin determines when the comb will be stripped. The pin layout is placed in 18 rows corresponding to each tooth of the comb. These two pieces must be paired together, unable to put the drum of one song on the comb of the other.ĭrum is a cylindrical steel with small protruding pins that produce the sound of the comb. 265 Products Found Sort Gift Music Box Hand Crank Movements - Various Melodies from 18.00 10.00 On Sale Top Seller DIY Wooden Music Box For Hand Crank Musical Movements 14.00 Classical Composers Hand Crank Music Box (Beethoven- Fur Elise) 18.00 Christmas Hand Crank Music Box - Blue (We Wish You A Merry Christmas) 18.
