Regina Music Box "Edelweiss" or "Edelweiß" for the German spelling. Porter Music Box Disc

[@Lapis11037]

[@buritomk8207]

[@c1nnamodoll]

me too. i've been wanting to collect music boxes for a while. i've only got three at the moment, and one of them was a disc music box. i used to love it when i was a kid : )

[@KirbyCurbwhy]

for me its specifically these special disc music boxes, their sound is so rich and resonant compared to the more popular cylinder ones with no soundboard! absolutely beautiful pieces of machinery!

[@mbcommandnerd]

The song starts at 0:26 on the dot, and you could use this as a New Year’s countdown as well, by starting this video right there at exactly 11:59:00PM. The song is exactly one minute long, so that beautiful final note will play right as the clock strikes midnight.

@@launcesmechanist9578 Actually it's not German, this version of Edelweiss was composed for The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers (an American composer). People keep mistaking it for a folk song.

when i was a baby I had a little music box that played this song. it had little white flowers on it. I was given it before my great aunt died...and then because of an idiot in the family that I had left in Washington pretty much just boxed up her belongings and did God only knows what with them, my music box was lost forever....this is the closest I'll ever get to hearing its sweet sound again :'

[@cheydinal5401]

It feels weirdly eery listening to a song that probably old grandmas listened to in the late 1800s, but that I only connect to the dystopian The Man In The High Castle

[@MaxIThink]

This song was made in the 1950s..

[@bandito0707]

Late 1800s were when the wild west days were ending

[@nickeldridge9454]

The song was written in the 1950s for the Broadway Musical 'The Sound of Music' by Rogers & Hammerstein so it wouldn't have been heard in the 1800s ... some people think it's an old Austrian folk song ... but it isn't. The disc shown in the video is of recent manufacture and is made by the Porter Music Box Company based in Vermont, USA.

[@Zonkedballer]

it sounds like something out of five nights at freddys

[@ofazmo]

[@weetabixharry]

I think these music box sounds have been overused in horror movies, because this just feels like a hectic sweaty nightmare to me.

[@jenniferlynn329]

I think of carousel 🎠

[@HueSolaris]

my opinion is, that this type of music is used to feel the player safety and the horror figure kicks in to scare his victim the hell out of him.

[@TheIndependentLens]

This does not sound scary at all. Maybe because of the song?

This used to be our "lullaby", or mine if i remember at least, as a child. And watching this on a 5 am after doing all my homework cause its the only undisturbed time i could get all day, and it hasn't been what id call a good one(day), spending half the night trying not to break down, and a recovering but in a vegetative coma state brother meters away from me and this on a music box just hits different now. Im not even a pre adult yet, but i really want to feel how it felt to be a child again.

[@wantingoneangel8976]

I love the Sound of Music:)! Edelweiss is not only symbolic of the innocence in the Children at that time of Nazi Occupied Austria, but the music box itself adds to the quality of that innocence:)

[@stillbill6408]

The Edelweiss is the national flower of Austria and the song (from/in the movie "The Sound of Music") was actually used/intended as a song of resistance against the invading Nazi Germans. "Edel-weiss" means "Noble-white".

[@wantingoneangel8976]

@@stillbill6408 That is very true!! And in fact in The Sound of Music the German officer that was going to take the Father would with him to serve in the German military, was highly annoyed when the entire audience started singing Edelweiss!!! And in addition to this being the national flower of Austria is Edelweiss, it also felt like a form of resistance against the dark evil of the Nazis with the words "pure and white meaning a pure; clean and bright" innocence which Nazis are far from innocent to put mildly!!

[@NoogahOogah]

the German letter ß is called in old times and still nowadays "es-zet" which means s plus z. The ß is just a very sharp s like in the English word sausage. There was even a German Chocolate which was called EsZet with a s and a z on the wrapper. The letter has a very old tradition in German speaking countries leading back to the 16th century and the time of Martin Luther.
