Wonderful! I've always loved music boxes, and the last device was like a music box on steroids. What a beautiful piece of human engineering. As a kid in the 1970s, I LOVED the Curiosity show. You guys had a way of finding stuff that was really interesting to children, and explained it without ever talking down to them. When I got the concept you were explaining, it made me feel smart. I spent many a happy hour duplicating the experiments on the show at home. I'd LOVE to see a reboot of the show for today's kids. Maybe on KZbin?

There's a museum in St. Augustine Florida where they have lots of really old musical instruments such as the music box you showed at the end. Once a week they actually demonstrate them and it is a sight to behold. It's called the Lightner Museum. Interesting trivia is that it is in the old Alcazar hotel (built in 1888), which was built by Henry Flagler, who is the namesake of the county that St. Augustine resides in.

I once set the works of a music-box on that counter, while the spring was going-and that huge expanse of steel on top of a mostly empty wooden box (the cabinets and drawers) was such a good resonator that you could hear the music-box across the whole house.

Thanks for your wonderful lesson. I wonder why music box with dozens of notes can sell as high as $500-$3000, but it can play only one or two minutes. Why is it so expensive? Your disc music box can play a disc for about one minute. The tune it plays actually is only a small part of the original melody. It will be a killing job if you want to listen to music for an hour to ease your mind after the dinner. People selling the music box didn't tell us the reality about the music box and just attracted us with a small piece of melody. e.g. A music box of llulaby is used to comfort the baby to go to sleep, but it can play only four minutes more or less while a baby takes 20 minutes to fall aslleep. It will become an unhappy work and a burden for mother to wind up the motor again and again to make her baby fall asleep.
