Cost Of 4-minute 30-note Musical Box Tune
By Harald M. Mueller
Could a 4-minute tune be put on a cylinder music box? I have
arranged Manolis Kalomiris' Nocturne (1) for the 30-note Sankyo
music box movement (2):

Originally, the person for whom I arranged it asked for a classical
cylinder music box. My answer was that this would be impossible,
first, because the duration of this piece (more than 4 minutes) would
not fit on a cylinder music box (although it could be done with spiral
tracks); and second, that the cost would be enormous.
But -- I am not at all a specialist in music boxes, so is what I said
true? Or could my arrangement be put on a cylinder music box with
reasonable cost?
