Music Box

A music box is an automatic musical instrument producing music by the use of a set of pins placed fixed to a revolving cylinder and set to strike the tuned teeth of a steel comb. Mostly they are small clockwork devices that are wound up by hand. Most people know the sound of a music box from a very small age as they are used to play back nursery rhymes, lullabies and popular classic music pieces such as Freres Jaques and London Bridge Is Falling Down. Today the music Box is still being used by famous artists as an instrument in its own right: Icelandic musician Björk, composer Richard Barrett, French musician Colleen, German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and Austrian composer Karlheinz Essl have all incorporated Music Boxes into their music.
