50 Note Sankyo Orpheus Movement
Tune DescriptionNow a days, it's getting more difficult to find good Christmas music in recorded forms. However, there has been a change so far as music boxes are concerned. The H15, is a good example of an old fashion German style music box that could have been easily found in Switzerland or Austria, or Germany about 50 years ago. The tones that this musical movement provides are simply delicious. "Silent Night" sings along like groups of children singing around the fireplace. "O Christmas Tree" (O Tannenbaum) almost sounds like a choir with bells and organ. "O Du Frohliche" sounds very stately like a beautiful prayer of some kind.The spirit of this music makes me think of Christmas eve just before the presents are opened by the children. If one uses his imagination, he can almost see the candles on the Christmas tree burning. Of course, this would be before they had electricity. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful movement. 50 Note MovementThis kind of Sankyo movement plays two or three tunes (or parts) and is made in Japan. There are fifty notes (or "teeth") on the comb. There is a lot of bass sound in the comb, and the arrangements are usually very spectacular in nature. It is one of the nicer movements made today, and we optimize it so it will play even better. |
