ROKR Magic Piano Mechanical Music Box Steps 9-END

I saw the video of this one on the ROKR website and was impressed with the complexity and just wanted to see it for myself...and you get to come along for the ride!

This turned out really nice! Great job! Looking forward to your next build!

[@Dbuilderguy]

Thanks, I really like it too!

[@pammclennan1642]

That is a classy-looking piano and works really well. Nice.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Thank you!

[@martindaredare]

Great build. I'm glad you enjoyed it ,works and looks good ,new project nice choice ,I have built 4 of those thus far .

[@Dbuilderguy]

Very nice! I thought they might be a good change of pace that I can do the complicated build, but it won't last forever (I hope). 😂

[@aperfecttouch]

This series was excellent! Thank you! I ordered this kit for a part of a special crafting video I'm working on for December. With your permission, I'll link your channel and playlist like I did with the Magic Library Book Nook. Did you watch my video where I talked about your channel?

[@Dbuilderguy]

I will now.

[@alanhaskell65]

Nice work Daniel!! I enjoyed the journey.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@55nimrod55]

In my kit part H-1 the interior cover is an opaque whitish plastic where yours is clear simulating glass and much nicer.

[@Dbuilderguy]

That should be a protective layer that peels off for you. Sometimes those peels are really clean looking.

[@55nimrod55]

@@Dbuilderguy Daniel thanks for that tip, made a big difference! Keep on ROKR on!!!!

[@dougheath9189]

Very nice, think I’ll get that one as it looks really good with some nicer movement.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Also, don’t sleep on the magic cello either, if anything it has a nicer movement and cooler effect.

[@lynngordon2795]

Just finished! It turned out really well although one piano key doesn’t move, but I’m not telling anybody it’s supposed to.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Sounds like a good plan to me! 👍

[@billiewright7532]

If you haven't built it yet try the Aero Clock. It was the most challenging for me so far

[@Dbuilderguy]

It is on my list, I'm just not sure about being able to display it properly with my set up, but I'm sure I'll try it someday. 😂

[@babypeacheu]

Came across your video while looking how to solve my problem... hope u can help me out a bit here 😭 while trying to screw the lid on, i noticed my screws are too small/the hole is too big and the screws dont hold the lid onto the hinge... so when i bend it to open, the lid literally just slides out and the screws fall out... any idea how to remedy this 😅

[@Dbuilderguy]

I think glue is about the only thing to do here, if you can get a small piece of tape over the holes you can fill it with a wood glue, then you can put your screws into the glue and once it cures it will act sort of like an epoxy that should hold things together good enough for you. Just make sure to wipe off the excess glue while it's still wet, and no one should ever be able to tell.

[@babypeacheu]

@@Dbuilderguy perfecttttt thank you so much!!

[@jafeniafaslim6000]

My keys stuck, the gears won't move, any tips? 😢

[@Dbuilderguy]

It only takes one gear being out of alignment to stall the whole thing, look and make sure they're all seated properly and not jammed against something.

[@jafeniafaslim6000]

@@Dbuilderguy they only stuck when it is part where we combine them though, do you think the problem is from the lower gear?

[@Dbuilderguy]

There must be something that doesn't have clearance when you combine them, look for anything that is rubbing in a weird place.

[@AmyHNJ]

My keys won't go back up on their own. I can't figure out what is wrong.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Is the music still playing and the other gears moving?

[@AmyHNJ]

@@Dbuilderguy Yes. If I push the keys back up then they go down when it turns, but won't go back up. I've taken the keyboard half apart a couple times, because the gear wouldn't turn once put together with the back. I did some sanding and extra lubrication and got that part working.

[@Dbuilderguy]

Well, if everything else is working then the problem must be somewhere in the keyboard area, I'd say double check and make sure everything is seated in place, the only thing I can think of is a part might have walked it's way out.
