There’s something mesmerizing about music boxes, so I definitely understand why people want to collect them. This DIY Music Box Kit by Kikkerland allows you to create your own sheet music that can be played back by a music box. This is especially great for music that want their work to be played back in the most traditional way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Music Box Kit comes with a mechanical music box, that’s easy to assemble and is manually operated with a crank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After putting together the music box, there’s a pre-punched sheet with the happy birthday song that you can already start playing back. In addition you’ll get three blank sheets and a hole puncher. You can create any song in the key of C when you know the right holes to punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it takes some trial and error to get to the right melody, note that you can also order a paper sheet refill (of 5 pieces) for relatively cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you’ll probably think this kit will go no further than simple nursery rhyme songs like happy birthday. Well, check out this musician that has composed a full album’s worth of songs made with just the Kikkerland Music Box.<\/p>\n\n\n
