Unknown Tunes on 6-tune Cylinder Musical Box
By Ken Clark

I'm linking a music-only YouTube video of a six-tune musical box that's
been a favorite of mine for years. Over those years I've been able to
discover only the first tunes identity, which is "Hunter's Chorus"
from "Der Freischütz" by C.M. von Weber. I'd be grateful for help with
the titles of the remaining five.

It's a mandolin movement with a 13-inch cylinder and 123 teeth in groups
of up to six teeth of the same pitch. The maker is unknown.

Many thanks,
