I've seen 2 of your restoration projects, and I am blown away. The tolerances on those things have got to be perfect for the sound to be correct, and you took them all the way down, cleaned, tweaked, polished, lubricated, and then reassembled the little jewels.

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. = )
What a wonderful and joyous Contraption! My twin sister had a cheap girls' jewelry/music box, where, when opened, a ballerina would pop up on a spring and dance to the music. It was the song that was interesting to my young self. I'm so glad these devices still exist, and someone is out there to share with us. Thank you.
I love how the mainspring made less than one full turn even after one full cycle through the songs. One full winding can give you 20+ minutes of music.
I hope to one day be rich enough to buy something like this for my future wife. It's such an exquisite work of art. In the meantime I'm saving for one of their smaller boxes 😊
This is so cool. I use to have an ice cream truck and most ice cream truck drivers said the music box drove them nuts but I loved it. The box I had was like what your showing, in a way.
🤗🎶✨I swear, you must be one rare music box wizard! This is fantastic! Beautiful condition. I'm trying to imagine going into the music box shop when the world was much different. I think there used to be more magic in this world. Thank you for sharing this, and revitalizing that spirit🧙🏽♂️
so interesting. you dont see too many music box nerds as there are guitar nerds or drum nerds. but this is so cool! these are really beautiful. you earned yourself a sub :)
Really nice....I bet the musician/designers of these beautiful instruments would pick up how to program a MIDI sequencer in seconds, and the possibilities would blow them away!
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.
How do I get my large , heavy vintage THorens fat cylinder music box to you .the box is quite exquisite and the way it was found . It looks similar to this box ( crank and 11 song box ) I was soooooo happy when I came across this special box !!!! That being said I believe you are the ONLY PERSON I will let touch this beautiful piece of history !!!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and craftsmanship. Lisa
Mr. Singing Bird Boxes, your stuff is amazing! I have desired a large music box that has been in my family for over 70 years and now that I have found you, I'll be keeping an eye on your store.
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)
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.
Fantastic, thank you for this video. Someday,when I really make it big, a music box will be the first thing I'll buy. In the meantime, this is a grand substitute.
I used to have a musical cuckoo clock with a REUGE 22 notes. Sadly the ratchet went bad, and I could not pull the chain, because if I did, the ratchet would slip and the weight would hit the floor in an instant. But don't worry! I will get it back! Once I do I will video the Reuge inside the clock.
AH TOREADOR CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. I'm a college student who's loved collecting music boxes for years, but I liked FNAF for a long time when it was big, and that song will NEVER be the same
It sounds outstanding, they cost a lot. that’s why i buy them slowly. you think this is big, you should see the antique ones, they could be twice the size with even larger cylinders, this one is built the old way, not the new way, it sounds amazing!
I agree with you. I have many antique music boxes and have sold many too. Many TH-cam 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 have seen many cylindercal musical box on Internet but never have I seen one which I have. It's huge like table with 24 cylinders in cabinet .Each cylinder plays 6 tune. Probably made to order as no manufacturer name only mentioned made in Switzerland. Working condition. Guide me.
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.
So fascinating. I just looked at Amazon, this musical treasure must cost a fortune especially this 144 note, the 72 note alone cost USD 16k! you must have a good retirement to own this. Listening on your retirement relaxing moments
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 wonder if there are any designs that also vary the length of the pins protruding from the cylinder, to vary the loudness of the note. I feel this would also alter the strike timing of the note, and would require some compensation (quieter notes would need to be pushed correspondingly later, relative to other notes).
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.
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)
It is a beautiful piece of work, but then the swiss are known for their craftsmanship. As a cabinet maker I have to say the fact they did not make the slots in the screws that hold the comb line up is a glaring distraction for such an expensive piece.
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.
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
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.
*@Singing bird boxes* 5:12 How does it repeat a song? Does it shift slightly (so the "roll sticks"?) line up with the "holes" between the "music sticks" and it spins faster? (or same speed? or reverses direction?) Also, how does the song-tracker works?
I dont understand. How a cylinder that slim fits all the songs? If the cylinder finished 1 cycle, the song should be repeated. In this case, there's gotta be so many cycle already. Am I correct? I'm confused.
The cylinder has thousands of pins that are positioned in what is called a musical arrangement. A snail gear slightly shifts the cylinder after each song which allows a different set of pins to engage the comb - this is how you get more than one song on a cylinder.
@@troyduncan1969 oh I see. Thank you for the explanation. Now I'm really intrigued by the design of the music box. There must be very small tolerance and precise movement for the music box to produce those music. I wonder how much for each of these back then. The look of it itself is almost like those high-end watches!
that fnaf song [ the tordor march.. god i suck at remembering names sometimes im 22 this should not be happening.... MONSANTO!!! ] at the end. bliss don't get me wrong i love these things and i wanna be a proud owner of one . i do have a tiny one but i rarely open it.

Now this is a rare beauty indeed. The fact that it has a large musical scale along with the fact that it can play more than one song is impressive.
Definitely.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful music box videos. Without TH-cam, I would never have a chance to hear and see such expensive antiques.
I've always loved how music boxes sound.

For a long time, the only way to hear music anywhere was that. That's the sound a generation grew up with.

How exactly does one fit 4 songs on a cylinder, even after it's gone a full revolution?
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 TH-cam and at well be good to do at too see a good job mate

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
