music box

[david753]

Recently, I disassembled a music box.
I found there are a slice that looks like a comb, a rolling column, and spring generator.
I am quite interested to implement by myself.
I'd like to replace the original column, implementing my favorite music on it.
But, I don't know how to make a column by myself.
Which mechanizing process is need?
How can I make tips of the column?

This will be a heck of a project. If it was me, I would remove the pegs from the roller that makes the tune. Now the hard part, replacing the pegs at a diffrent location. If you have a musical ear, you should be able to change the tune to what you want. If you are like me, it will just make noise. Good luck

Since this is an electronics forum, add an ISD sound chip to play whayever music you desire.
