Tune Description

This particular music box movement is definitely in the German style. The tone is bright and colorful, almost shimmering. When I first heard it I wanted it, right away! The harmonies are very rich indeed. It is a very nice example of a German-style music box.

There is a lot of decoration in the accompaniment of "Home Sweet Home", and the melody line is nicely intertwined.

"Green Sleeves" is not as decorated, but is still nice. It makes for a good contrast with the tune just before it.

50 Note Movement

This kind of Nidec/Sankyo movement plays two or three tunes (or parts) and is made in Japan. Playing time is usually about 6 minutes. 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.Our in-house comb machine and Rick's expertise result in Bell-Like Tuning unrivalled in new movements for decades.
