How to Build a Custom Music Box
By Charlie Hind

A few months ago, some people were asking about how to make a music
box.  For those who are interested in a way to put music on cylinders,
my new web site has pictures of the two music boxes I have made, as
well as a description of how I converted the printed music into pin
locations on the cylinders.

If organs and paper rolls are more your thing, be sure to have a look
at my Ocarina Celestina, a hand cranked organ that uses Celestina rolls
to play music on twenty wooden ocarinas.  All this and more can be
accessed from my Machine Shop page at
   http://hindocarina.com/Machine Shop.htm

If some of the descriptions seem too obvious, please bear with me;
most people visiting my site are there to look at ocarinas and don't
have any idea how mechanical musical instruments work.

Thank you to all of you from whom I've learned so much over the years.

Best wishes,
Charlie Hind
