A Quality 18 Note Music Box Mechanism
The cylinder musical movement was invented in 1796, and for the first time, people could listen to mechanically reproduced music in their own homes. Musical movements came long before the invention of the phonograph back in 1877. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and you'll find that the world of musical movements still inspires people of all ages. The 18 note musical movement is the "base" movement from our selection of mechanical music. In order from lowest to highest, the movements we carry are as follows: 18, 23, 30, 36, 50, 72 & 144 Note The brands we carry for the 18 note music box mechanism are Reuge/Romance (Swiss), Sankyo, Rhymes, and Yen Sheng. The brand you receive depends on which tune you select. All Swiss movements are listed accordingly in the above "music selection" drop-down list, noting “Swiss” next to the title.This 18-Note Musical Movement Player Features:
- Playing time: 17 seconds (full rotation of cylinder) / 2.5 minutes (total)
- Dimensions: 2” L x 1.75" W x .75" H
- Included:
- Winding Key

- The 18-note mechanical Movement includes a rare 3mm thick, high-quality brass pin (Exclusive to the Music Box Attic), which helps you install the wire stopper in your music jewelry box. This unique accessory is included at no additional cost.

I chose to not execute the shutoff mechanism as shown in the instructions. Instructions are not fully clear and don't seem quite right. I will shut off the music by just having the underside of the lid push down the the shutdown lever. This product is more expensive but it has the shutoff feature so I chose it and would choose it again.

I ordered for a music box I am making for my granddaughter--the volume is so low that I can hardle hear it when I open up box to play--too small. Installed after return date or I would have replaced.

Wish the music would play longer. Decent mechanism though.

Although I would have preferred an original music platform from Switzerland (Reuge), the platform is no longer being produced. I was impressed with the tone quality, and my customer is quite appreciative as well. Thank you for fast service and a good product.

Barely audible when first out of the box, but created a nice rich tone when mounted...the on/off wire and mechanism is delicate to work with, I ultimately chose not to use it....would definitely recommend.

Un Bel Di was our wedding song, so my husband gave me a Madam Butterfly music box for our 10th anniversary. That was 30 years ago! Sadly, the movement broke and nobody around here could fix it. One guy online wanted to charge us $400 to fix it, which was ridiculous (I'm not THAT sentimental!). Then we saw this movement on Amazon with Un Bel Di and decided to try to fix the music box ourselves. Watched a couple of Youtube videos to learn how to replace the movement and-- presto-- now it works again. Good product, excellent instructions. Thank you!
