Thanks

Lol he said THE four seasons i was expecting the whole thing then i was like oh lol

How the hell you remember these complex names

@@wealthmaster69 i don't, google does. remembering the composer name and type (solo, opera, concerto) helps the searching though

@@TheJociman excellent

Definitely.

Crystal Nibarger same, it's absolutely beautiful!

Same.

Whenever I want some music to relax my mind, music box melody is always the best.

Its so relaxing. I love it

Me to

Well my friend, thank you for the kind comment but it is actually you that should be celebrated. As a master machinist, you can craft the metal parts using a lathe and other machinist tools. I can craft simple parts and springs but not the more complex parts. Most of the parts on Reuge music boxes are crafted by hand - just like they were in the 1800s. Yes, some parts are made using CNC machines. What really blows me away is on the early 1800s music boxes, the crafters not only made everything by hand (no power either) but they also had to make the tools and machines used to fabricate the parts. I am self-taught and I do not hold myself out to be a master machinest, toolmaker or model maker. Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired.

I've been at my trade for 38 years, and I'm still learning about it from the people who are around me. If your self-taught then I'm very impressed. I'm interested in your work. I left you a message on eBay. Don't know how long it will take, but it's happening. = )

The grand cartel music boxes are the top of the line for Reuge.

A music box like this can take months to build, with hundreds of hours invested.

@@SinnerSince1962 one of them is 9,000+ dollars my dude

I shall sell my soul to get it

You buy this, and your grandchildren will be happy after 500 years.

What a wonderful message, thank you.

Wow, thank you

@Missy Moonwillow Oh what I’d give for those simpler times! 💔

Correct. The first music boxes were sur plateau (super tiny discs) found mostly in watches and FOBS. Then, cylinder music boxes were invented and were the "only game on town" until the 1880s when Symphonion invented the disc music box. This allowed new discs to be created when new songs were composed. Then came the Gramaphone with a human voice and then LP records. As such, the music box industry basically went away.

Thank you for the kind words. You should watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJZ-rcqVnJ3RfYE.html Kind regards, Troy Duncan. www.singingbirdbox.com

Thank you Carl. I think you sent me an email yesterday, I replied, and never heard back from you. Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired www.singingbirdbox.com www.reugemusicboxusa.com

Horizontal offset. Shift the cylinder slightly left-right and the picks which were plucking the notes now miss them, but a different set of picks pluck the notes instead. (Apologies to those who know the correct terms. I hope I was clear enough anyway)

I assume there are multiple columns of notes and the barrel shifts slightly left or right to line up with the different notes.

When the arranger make the song, there are the same numbers of column that number of songs For the example let's take this, there are 4 musics So colonnes are like: 123412341234123412341234 When the cylinder is at a certain position it only takes the"1" toothes 1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1--- And if it is set to the third music --3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3- And you got it

It shifts to another position. There are gaps between each teeth which prevent the incorrect cylinder pins from plucking the teeth in order to play the correct song.

At see relly good music boxs he des a good job on KZfaq and at well be good to do at too see a good job mate

That' s the Spring ❤

@@troyduncan1969 I am a violinist and I appreciate beautiful objects, it is a beautiful music box.

You should visit my Reuge music box website. www.reugemusicboxusa.com Kind regards, Troy Duncan. www.reugemusicboxusa.com

Its sounded like four seasons of vilvadi

First song was 4 seasons, second song was Hungarian Rhapsody, 3rd song was La Traviata, 4th song was Toreador

@@CBF1 oh nice tks u

Show us on youtube and you'd be a rich man...

raghvendra gohil That will be worth so much money. I hope it’s insured.

I know those, i can help. they’re valuable yes, but no, not rich, that would most likely be tax money. it would be a lot of money, though they are very hard to sel. they’re amazing.

Avoid Drone Express!!

I agree with you. I have many antique music boxes and have sold many too. Many KZfaq videos of such - even some Overture boxes which are the best made.

@@troyduncan1969 yeah, i love your videos! didn’t think you would reply, i’m only 13 and collect rare antiques, but money is limited hence my age so they don’t come in a lot.

I imagine you can also have a pin that's *just* long enough to touch the prong to stop it vibrating. This could enable different length notes

Contact Reuge in Switzerland. The mechanism alone on a 144 note grand cartel would cost about $3,000 or $4,000 "or so" wholesale (if you were a dealer). Dealers typically mark up close to 100%. Kind regards, Troy Duncan.

What a coincidence! So do I!

Love that you take time to restore and clean the music boxes and then make videos to show them. I enjoy seeing them very much.

A fair price for a new Reuge 3/72 is around USD $3,000 - slightly more if the case is really fancy; some of the examples on Amazon are crazy priced. A Reuge 144 is significantly more. That being said, I do have a very good retirement and I also acquire and restore mechanical music pieces so others may enjoy them. I sell most Reuge 3/72 music boxes for between $750 and $1,350 - depending upon the case style and song selection: Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired www.singingbirdbox.com

I appreciate your comment and I have never seen a music box where the comb screws are aligned to be perfect and this reflects seeing music boxes dating from right around 1800 to the present. It just something that has never been performed.

itsssjim - Vivaldi's Four Seasons

there's like two people that actually said anything about the game...

pikalove More than two actually. Doesn't matter how many though. One is too many.

They're kids. Let them be kids. They'll learn. Had it not been for FNaF, I wouldn't have learned about my love for music boxes. I have around 5 of them now, but one is missing a spur gear :| They only know Toreador March as "Freddy's song" just like they only know Grandfather's Clock as "The Marionette's music box". I only found out about them because I didn't know the name of "Freddy's song" and I kept getting actual music boxes. We've gotta start somewhere.

I agree with you,but it's kind of anoying when they said that with every music box they heard

Moshi moshi Spiderman desu Eh. Not every music box. Scott never put names for the songs he used, so when we hear something similar to it, kinda yell it out, you know? By now, we all know the names of the music boxes used. For this one, Toreador March (or "Freddy's Music Box" as those who don't know the actual name know it as). You'll probably see more fans on Swan Lake, Grandfather Clock, and Schubert's Serenade (which I've been looking for since the damn game came out. See? Learn new stuff from those games if you look)

The 2 teeth are detuned slightly to create a "choir" effect

He said it could be all yours for $ 7,000.00. How many do you want? There will never be another one or a lower price.

Antique roadshows has.
