Hey all i am sorry i promised that extra video which didnt turn up! I started filming it and i went superambitious with it so it was not at all the half day project i thought it was, the video will turn up on another Wintergatan Wednesday! I am learning to never talk about videos upfront, maybe if they are done and uploaded i can talk about them but before that i will never promise again! Promise! :) Martin
I dont know if this is possible to add to the music box, but perhaps a roller that can pick up the music sheet and roll it up while playing could help.
Wintergatan I really want to say, directly to Martin, I am both humbled and deeply inspired by you as an artist and machinist. It is your band Wintergatan and its incredibly unique and magical nature that inspire me to continue with my own projects, both musically and mechanically. Your music, charisma, and genius really speak to me and I can't help but look up to you as a truly magnificent musician and person in general. I will most definitely, without a doubt, attend your Multiverse Tour when you come to London and I am sure it will make me very happy to see you on stage playing the music you have put all of your love into and for you to see (once again) the marvellous effect that it has on the people that come to hear it. Sincerely, I thank you.
My god! When you were in that kinda lift waiting to go on stage, you were so nervous, I myself felt super nervous too! Looking at the music box, looking behind you, testing everything.... I felt so sorry for you xD
Don't feel sorry for him man, this is what a lot of performers and musicians live for, performing! It's nerve wracking but it's also an incredible feeling. This dude is competent, too. Looks like everything went off without a hitch.
Your videos always make me want to build something even though I have zero experience with woodwork. (except maybe a strange birdhouse I made as a child)
Marika Me too, strangely. Okay, I lies there, I'm pretty sure I could build it, but at my age (15,5) it is hard to get my hands on the necessary stuff.
What I appreciated the most from this video is the humility you felt at being invited to another people's show. I think I could learn a thing or two from attitudes like that.
Always loved how the music box worked and watching the parts before stage to your performance was well done! Nothing worse than having an unexpected failure through no fault of your own when you believed you have done everything you could to prevent that situation from ever becoming! So glad everything worked out for you!
thank you for the continuation of weekly uploads. it means a lot to many of us. may all your hopes and dreams come true, you and your whole band deserve that much.
you are incredibly inspiring and crafty with building all these instruments and i seriously appreciate that! please never stop doing this awesome music and stuff, this truely is cultural enrichment for everybody. love from germany.
it's always great when I as an audience can feel a sense of pride and nervousness (when the platform was raising my heart was pounding!). I love your videos and if at all possible I would very much like to see more of the band in these vids! Don't know if you only get together for practice or what. Love it all. Please come to Bergen in Norway! It's such a music-heavy city and I know you would pack every venue small or big!
you're such a big inspiration to me, the way you work and how passionate you are for your art blows my mind, it makes me so happy. I wish someday I could do something close to this with my music career. thank you martin. cheers from colombia
Martin, you are truly a genius ... I'm sure, given the opportunity, your design skills could be applied to other areas of automation, outside the music arena.
There is no thing you do I do not find myself loving. Everything you've managed to create for Wintergatan shows how amazing music can be. It's so sweet of you to always be nervous for us not liking long videos or how sometimes you get side tracked along the way. It's super nice to realize we all can, somehow, get insecure too by small things, but I assure you, there is nothing to be anxious about, we all love Wintergatan! Keep it up with the vids, you guys are the rock(et)! Ninah.
I can't wait to show this to my kids when they get home from school... they loved your original video! You are so admirable!! :) Thanks for being such a positive and inspirational person. The world needs more people like you in it!
The IEC connector for the power is a great idea because in any country you can find one of those cables for kettles, PC's, computer monitors, and if your power supply is ok with 120/240V 50/60HZ, you can play it in any country with just the right local cable. :-) Also the cave workshop makes you look like some sort of comic book hero :-D
The practice of a triple spare is familiar to me from my days as a climber. In climbing we say "one is none, two is one". While this usually refers to main system and backup, I have found it a useful motto when designing redundant systems, too...
Martin, you were so hyped up... So nervous! I truly hope you do relax a bit. Just for your own sanity! *hugs!* You did a great job with these instruments, trust in yourself. 🌾Be Blessed ღ 🌿
Wintergatan, du bist der "verrückteste" Holländer der mir über den Weg gelaufen ist. Es ist super Klasse was Du da gebaut hast. In meinen Augen übertriffst du sogar den mit nur einem Ohr. Ihr beide mach Sachen die man ohne Ende betrachten kann. Bin zufällig auf Dich gestoßen (über CNC-Alex) und bin begeistert, einfach paff. Habe viele Sachen gesehen, mache selbst bißchen was, aber Dein Projekt übertrifft alles.Danke Dir und weiter so.
I'm looking on you on stage and can't stop thinking: «This is how mad scientists look like. This is how mad scientists look like!» _And you're so cool!_
Such a beautiful machine! The epiphany of a combination of lego, woodwork and music! Can't wait to try to make my own sometime! Keep the videos coming!
Summary of Part 2 - Martin has balls the size of Blue Whales. I'm humbled sir, humbled. Thank you for the view into a small portion of your professional life.
love the part with nick en simon, I'm from the netherlands and fan of them, can't wait to see the whole song. i think you did a great job with the music box. can't wait for the marble machine to be ready. keep up the good work,
Well Done! Just love the abundance of creativity, great sense of humour and your humble honesty :) Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to see and hear more in future. Maybe you get to visit Ireland one day and can make a version of flute or fiddle of some sorts.
You are just so human and natural that i like your videos really much... Your works are really wonderfull..thank you for sharing all that experience...
This is what I love about TH-cam: I know you and Wintergarten, yet I've never heard of Nick & Simon even though they can clearly fill a massive arena...
I LOVE your pop-up plein air workshops, first shown in the Diresta video! I found myself saying "ohhhhh, okay!" several times when you showed more details about how you made this machine work. Really interesting. Your brilliance continues to impress me so much. I wish you more calmness in your shows - I guess it is not enough to know you have all us thousands of fans loving you because in the end YOU have to face the audience alone (or with WG usually). You amaze. xo from Oregon
Martin, in sooo many different ways please know that it's amazing what you and Wintergarten do, and your ways of approaching and explaining. You're truly inspirational... (BTW don't forget Sydney Australia in your upcoming tour plans! :-) )
Not being negative but I came to this page to attempt to learn how to tune , harden , divide , double note , quench and anneal a steel comb which is as you know the heart of a music box. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that you just purchased a unit and built around it with legos. I realize that many fans will take this as a dispersion on your work but not so... You have reached an amazing amount of people with an amazing project.... successfully bringing it to fruition.... I applaud you ! After spending many many hours searching for some usable and intelligent direction for the construction of a comb ( from scratch ) I again find that no such information exists ! I am older now but would certainly appreciate your input on this my dilemma . Congratulations !
Neat build. Just have confidence is what you built and then no more butterflies. Love the music box and it ended up doing what you wanted. Have faith in what you designed and built and all is good.,
Hey all i am sorry i promised that extra video which didnt turn up!

You really like lego don't you?
So.... That means that the next video will be extra awesome :3
I dont know if this is possible to add to the music box, but perhaps a roller that can pick up the music sheet and roll it up while playing could help.
Turning superambitious. That's something you don't hear every day.
Don't worry about it. You are fine. You are not perfect. You worry too much. What you are doing is awesome!
"One backup is not a backup."
You, Sir, are a wise and well prepared man.
like bismark hehehe
You, sir, are a visionary. So humble too.
Yup.
One that uses Lego which makes him even better
Wintergatan I really want to say, directly to Martin, I am both humbled and deeply inspired by you as an artist and machinist.

Wow. Awesome comment!
It really inspires me tbh
This guy its a Da Vinci of music, and his groups is really talented.
My god! When you were in that kinda lift waiting to go on stage, you were so nervous, I myself felt super nervous too! Looking at the music box, looking behind you, testing everything.... I felt so sorry for you xD
You can see the adrenaline pumping, but then he looks so relaxed on stage. A true performer!
:) the wait is the worst!!
Thank you :)!
If you manage to be so supernervous and still play incredible, that's impressive!
Don't feel sorry for him man, this is what a lot of performers and musicians live for, performing!
It's nerve wracking but it's also an incredible feeling. This dude is competent, too. Looks like everything went off without a hitch.

use cheerios and other cereal...don't need to be a copycat ever...that's the point
What I appreciated the most from this video is the humility you felt at being invited to another people's show. I think I could learn a thing or two from attitudes like that.
Our world needs people like you!
You have to love that feeling when you finish a concert and everything turned out well.
Well done Martin! The music box not breaking down was not luck - it is very well engineered and built.
It is truly wonderful to see you at work and hear a little about how you approach creating these instruments.
You are so well rounded. You are an architectural genius and a musician. I ADMIRE YOU
Always loved how the music box worked and watching the parts before stage to your performance was well done! Nothing worse than having an unexpected failure through no fault of your own when you believed you have done everything you could to prevent that situation from ever becoming! So glad everything worked out for you!
thank you for the continuation of weekly uploads. it means a lot to many of us. may all your hopes and dreams come true, you and your whole band deserve that much.
Thank you for these videos and for letting us follow along on your creative journey! This is one of my very favorite TH-cam channels.
Congratulations on the show! Nick and Simon are lucky to have you as a guest!
everything you make looks like something from a children's book. it's all so amazing and beautiful! love your music!
a backup for a backup that is by far the smartest idea i have ever heard when it comes to backups
Engineers have always been wizards.
you are incredibly inspiring and crafty with building all these instruments and i seriously appreciate that!
please never stop doing this awesome music and stuff, this truely is cultural enrichment for everybody. love from germany.
Wasn't luck, it was skill and passion fused into an object of love. Great work.
it's always great when I as an audience can feel a sense of pride and nervousness (when the platform was raising my heart was pounding!). I love your videos and if at all possible I would very much like to see more of the band in these vids! Don't know if you only get together for practice or what. Love it all. Please come to Bergen in Norway! It's such a music-heavy city and I know you would pack every venue small or big!
That's so cool that you were able to see this live!
Yeeahh
you're such a big inspiration to me, the way you work and how passionate you are for your art blows my mind, it makes me so happy. I wish someday I could do something close to this with my music career. thank you martin. cheers from colombia
Martin, you are truly a genius ... I'm sure, given the opportunity, your design skills could be applied to other areas of automation, outside the music arena.
u are the musician i look up the most this days, its a joy to see such commitment on creativity and inovation! keep being awesome :)
I love your engineering skills and the way you solve mechanical problems. You are a true inspiration!!
There is no thing you do I do not find myself loving. Everything you've managed to create for Wintergatan shows how amazing music can be.

Relax Martin. Expecting things to work affects outcome. At least I think it does. Thanks for sharing this with us.
it's insane how the different types of wood change the sound
Just looking at the amount of people.... wow you handled it well.Props to you!
Such a gorgeous sound, I can understand the obsession, it's his baby.
This is so CUTE AND MAGICAL!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭💗 Greetings from Mexico!
Such a beautiful machine! The epiphany of a combination of lego, woodwork and music! Can't wait to try to make my own sometime! Keep the videos coming!
It makes me so happy that you used legos as part of the build.
Que gusto poder ver videos de este tipo. Capo, humilde y simpático. El mundo necesita mas como El. Se gana 10 merendinas de platino.
I love your idea of all these backups. I think it's great to be prepared

Thank you for sharing all of this, especially your backstage experience. Looking forward to seeing you from the frontstage someday. :)
Three! Thank God for Wintergatan Wednesdays!
Bandsaw placement is key for the soul of the instrument's construction.
I LOVE your pop-up plein air workshops, first shown in the Diresta video! I found myself saying "ohhhhh, okay!" several times when you showed more details about how you made this machine work.

Absolutely love wintergaten Wednesdays!
I really enjoyed watching you build this, great work!
Martin, in sooo many different ways please know that it's amazing what you and Wintergarten do,
and your ways of approaching and explaining. You're truly inspirational...
(BTW don't forget Sydney Australia in your upcoming tour plans! :-) )
I hope next time you are in here, you're going to be the star of the show.. I don't care about Nick&Simon, but I LOVE Wintergatan!
Awesome! :D Such artistry in all aspects, hope that you get large arenas full of people for Wintergatan!

this is so beautiful... I truly love you and your content, what a fascinating personality
I hope so much you are stayinging safe and well
I was there in Ahoy. Your music gave me goosebumps!! A month later I found (by accident) your TH-cam Chanel! I still have a video from the otherside!
I would honestly LOVE to hear a music box only cover of starmachine 2000. perfect song to wake up to in the morning!
Du är helt fantastiskt kreativ som lyckas konstruera alla dessa roliga instrument!
Neat build. Just have confidence is what you built and then no more butterflies. Love the music box and it ended up doing what you wanted. Have faith in what you designed and built and all is good.,
Another video tomorrow?!?!?! You are spoiling us Martin ;)
Great video as usually, thanks for bringing us with backstage and for be very open about yourself. Keep it up!
Hi Martin, your whole channel is fantastic, love the marble machine.
Can you post a link to where you brought the music box from? Ta 😀
Great music isn't just created, but engineered.
A backup for your back up. can never be too careful
What a great opportunity, good for you. Thanks for the video.
You are awesome! I really wish you came to Mexico, but it's all right, I love your music and I love your inventiveness. Keep up the awesome work!
I love how you built the paper pulling mechanism with lego
You are a genius!! You make wonderful musical machines. And I'm really surprised
that was great! about your invention and iteration process. Now we all have to build our own music boxes...
Amazing machine. You are genius
! Oh dear ! We love what you do! Bravo
Man you are a “GENIUS”. Respect
This man is genius.
Yes, no burnout sir. Its beautiful, even silent.
Thumbs up for not breaking down!
So cool to see you in the Netherlands
Я думаю ты не понимаешь русский. Но твоё отношение к деталям и мелочам выше всяких похвал. Спасибо за ролики, продолжая в том же духе.
Félicitation ! Vous êtes un véritable génie !
Please come play in the USA at some point! Make sure to give us an update if you're coming to New Jersey, I would hate to miss your performance!
What an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing! :-)
Awesome build, I love the use of Lego!
You're a genius! Bravo!
At 13:00, one of the best scenes your music can make :) keep it up
This is like watching Mr. Rogers
This guy is a G for Genius
nice craftsmanship
3:07 That sounds really really nice
You are an inspiration.
I love you Wintergatan
That's some IKEA woodwork quality there!
Uauuuu!!
Your face before going o stage said everything lol
Very happy for you!
