The process of creating music boxes

Note count changes 
the Music Box's tone

The "number of notes" refers to the number of teeth on the music box's comb.
At Nidec Instruments, we offer a variety ranging from 18note to a maximum of 80note. The more notes, the wider the range of tones that can be expressed.
