The movement is wonderful and sounds great, but I never
received the music box plans. Also the mounting instructions
are pretty weak for a beginner.

Jim B on May 3, 2016
hole locations? for the 18 note blue danube
Ronald M on May 5, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I gave this away as part of a jewelry box, but if I recall correctly, there are three holes to fasten it to your project. The first hole is on the left [you can see it on the image], the second is on the exact opposite side, and I believe the third is on top in the middle. I am not exactly sure, but depending on what you are making, it should be easy to fasten.
Is a stopper pin included?
David L on Dec 5, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes. You can see it in the image, but it is much longer than the image shows and is used so that when the lid closes, the music will stop.
where is the winder located on this piece?
Chris S on May 21, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It's on the bottom. You need to drill a hole in the bottom of the music box.
Where can I purchase music box keys?
JOHN O on Dec 26, 2016
I want to replace a movement that has the stopper wire run thru a rod that projects out the bottom. When the box is set down it plays. Lift up and it stops. Will this movement work with this rod arrangement?
David on Jan 8, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The downward pressure stops the music so to do what you are saying, you would need lifting the box to create a downward pressure on the lever [i.e. a weight] or mount the musical feature upside down if possible...maybe a backer board with four posts or long screws?
Does the winder have a male or female thread?
David F on Feb 12, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The winder handle has a female thread. the stem itself has a male thread.
Can you record any song on a music box?
Kathy on Nov 3, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No you can't record but you can buy a large variety of tunes. A quick web search will turn up US suppliers with boxes with many selections.
Can we get additional songs on this musical movement?
Dale B on Oct 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: No. There is only one song.. and do not make the music box too big. The bigger it is the louder the music gets. Thw music box shouldnt be much bigger than the movemment..ideally hushing the listener. Not waking them
Am I able to attach it inside to the top of the music box lid and I can wind it that way?
L D on Mar 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: In order to attach to top a hole would have to be made to attach key winder. Normally movement would attach to bottom or side with hole for winding on area movement is attached to. Then the stop/start wire would be bent to start music when lid is raised and stop when lid is lowered. Hope this helps. The movement plays beautiful music and is reasonably priced,
Does it come with different songs?
Dale B on Oct 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Not sure. That would be a Rockler question.
What tunes are available?
Gabriel S on Jun 25, 2019
BEST ANSWER: There are only two ; Greensleeves and Blue Danube
Will you be carrying anymore of a music selection in these? I have made 3 music boxes so far and have people wanting different selections
Becky V on Dec 29, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Not at this time
I’ve discovered some music boxes that I made roughly 40 years ago. The musical mechanisms no longer work. They’re Sankyo and look like this one. I’m wondering if the stop lever is in the same position? Where can I find dimensions for this mechanism?
Mikeb on Dec 11, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Dimensions are approximately the same as the old Swiss Reuge movements which are no longer available. Plans were available in the old Woodsmith catalogues. Appears the plans supplied are for the larger movement. Best bet is to purchase one movement and go from there. The retrofit will probably work with some adjustment.
Do you have one that plays Silent Night?
Donald S on Nov 30, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Sorry, we do not have additional tunes at this time.
Do you have Music box that plays Smoke Gets in Your Eyes?
S. H on May 18, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Sorry we do not. I would try a Google search using Musical movements or music box movements
I don't understand the purpose for the stopper wire. Is it used to stop the music when the box lid is closed, and allow the music to start when the box is opened?
FRANK C on Jan 2, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it does stop the music by stopping the movement. The wire can be bent if necessary. The idea is the movement is connected to the bottom of a box, and the lid, when closed will depress the wire and stop the music.
Does this box have a key to wind it or do you twist the base to play it
Woody on Mar 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Key if I remember correctly. Been awhile. Do remember having a problem with activator arm but that was probably just me.
IS IT HARD TO CHANGE THE MUSIC SPOOL?
ROBERT W on Dec 30, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I don’t know, I will look in to that.
Is there such a component that you can record your own music on and make a box?
Wilki on Sep 9, 2017
What is the deepest box this can be used in and still have the music play/stopen when the lid is opened/closed?
