Auld Lang Syne on a 15 note DIY Music Box (Kikkerland musicbox)

Auld Lang Syne on a 15 note DIY Music Box from Kikkerland. A Scotish folk song traditionally played on New Years day when whishing everyone a happy new year. In The Netherlands it's also known as a football song "Nederland oh Nederland, jij bent de kampioen" voetballied. There is another (better) version of the song in this video: • Auld Lang Syne music box
Music arranged in Mario Paint Composer and converted to paper strip with my program MPC2Musicbox.

Can you do "Red sun in the sky" ?

Hi, I'm trying to do the diy music box thing right now, and I''m having some trouble. If I punch the same note twice consecutively, I can only hear it playing once. And idea why this happens? Any workaround? Please help!

[@BdR76]

This occurs with all DIY music boxes, it's because the way it's designed. The holes in the paper strip can't "grab" a gear tooth twice consecutively, there needs to be some space between them. Take a close look at how the mechanics works as you play a song. Either avoid using same notes consecutively in your song, or if possible use the note one octave up or down instead, or increase (double) the spaces between all notes and then play it faster.

I guess doubling the space would work then. Thanks! :)
