From weaving clothes to playing music. What can't the modern punch card do? Very nice instrument!

Hurrah! What a wonderful melody! Barrel organ helps to listen and practice playing music on organ, accordion, bandoneon and other wind instruments. Some antique mechanical clocks too played melody on barrel organ for every hour just before or soon after striking the hours. Nowadays these types of barrel organ and organ clocks are electronically imitated by some quartz clocks because they contains electronically recorded and programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker. But they can't beat the real barrel organ, gongs and organ clocks.
