To make a lovely sound, these pins touch the tuned teeth as they pass. It contains technological advantages such as precision engineering that allows for exact pitch and clarity. Also, automatic winding mechanism found a place in the features; electric clock movement has been added as well and using the music box is easier than ever due to no assembling necessary: (continue reading) The tin music box has myriad applications: as an art object, as a behavioral study device that could help children organize outsized memories of themselves.
