  • As a classical musician, if I was rich I would love to have one of these in my living room. I do not have the ability of site, but based on the way this sounds online I can hardly imagine how it would sound up close. I have always had a liking for mechanical things like music boxes and clocks, but never have I heard something so melodious in my lifetime.

    1:34 this sound will always give me goosebumps. This will always be beautiful.
  • This nearly made me return to a previous life in the country when nothing much happened and these magical boxes were gateways to fantastic worlds of imagination. Times when you really stop and let music take you to places.

    beautiful music, hard to believe these were the source of music for over a century till radio surpassed it
  • The first cylinder played some of my favorite songs and I almost cried. I've always loved music boxes and now I aspire to one day have one this magnificent!

    The box itself has been beautifully restored. I would really like to see the marquetry shown a bit closer so I could fully appreciate the craftsmanship that went into achieving this beautiful detail. I loved how beautiful the music sounded as it played ! Thanks for this wonderful video.
  • "i literally cried tears of absolute joy while listening to this. I felt like a fairy tale princess being swept into a dream waltz the entire time. This sounds so amazing! I was not expecting that complexity. I would love to have one of these! So incredibly lovely!

    What a beautiful piece! I was previously unaware that such complex music boxes existed. I'd love to see the inner workings of one. Thank you for your content.

    I have never seen or heard a music box like this. This thing sounds amazing!! Sounds way more complex than the standard one drum music boxes!

    Beautiful piece of machinery. When I was young, one of my great aunts left a Regina music box with us for several year, with a number of the metal "records". Unique sounding music, and mesmerizing to watch.

    I used to have a music box as a child. It seemed so magical
  • Это просто потрясающе...3 мелодии на каждом валике....Произведение искусства.

    Magic boxes. My favorite "things" in the world.
  • Amazing! I remembered when I was a kid playing a simple music box when going to sleep. Classics are awesome.
  • @Zalaniar
    That's awesome! I love how you can actually see the notes, especially the ones that rise in sequence left to right.
  • @stagesixx
    How in the world can they make such a thing, so precise to get the pins to align and play, incredible.
  • Ineffable…hauntingly beautiful!!! The arrangements are a wonder!!!
