Tune Description
Well, as usual, I have something new and exciting to talk about. Introducing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, on a 72 note musical movement. This is quite an important event for me, because as you can see, there is not much Bach music available on either the 50 or 72 note musical movements. I was thinking about arranging a Bach piece of music for the music box, but now, this Concerto came up. What a spectacular job that Sankyo has done. The combs really ring. The music is bell like, as can be expected, yet somehow, the music is also original. The harmonies are clearly brought out but the experience of hearing this music on a musical movement is really striking. The music is like dancing on clouds. Somehow, this is better than listening to the original orchestral version. Check it out and try it for yourself. I think you'll agree with everything I said.

72 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 72 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.
