Someone make a MIDI retrofit for this."We remember this charming little toy from years ago, and are proud to be able to present it here once more.
Traditional musical boxes normally have a single tune (unless you have an advanced version with different cylinders). But in this case, the music box, which is hand cranked, has a strip of paper that passes through it, and the little holes in this strip determine the tune.
The Music Box comes with one strip of paper already punched with the tune 'Happy Birthday'. There are then 3 blank strips of paper and a hole punch, which will allow you to create tunes of your own! It makes for a fun and interactive way to learn and create music.
The Music Box has a two octave range, and can play chords, not just single notes.
The set consists of the Paper Strip Music Box, a Hole Punch, one sample strip of paper with 'Happy Birthday' already punched, and 3 Blank Melody Strip Cards.
The Melody Strips are 48cm long, and 4cm wide. The Music Box is 10.5cm (including handle) x 4.5cm x 2.75cm high."
