🎶🎵🎶 How to order 🎶🎵🎶

Please send us a name and a link to a song on Youtube together with the time interval you are interested in.
For example:


"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjhCEhWiKXk,
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are,
0:25 - 0:45"

IMPORTANT: make sure the length of the fragment is 14 – 24 seconds (music box limitation).

Due to music box limitations, not all songs can be converted into a nice sounding music box melody. Rap/hip hop, jazz and songs with a lot of repeating notes would not work out well.

Usually, the best part would be a chorus. Please send the song original and not a piano/music box version.

⚠️ If your song cannot be converted into 18-Note music box melody, we can try a different song or opt for a refund.

⚠️ If we have already converted your song into 18-Note melody, there will be a $30 non-refundable Conversion fee.

⚠️ Due to the natural difference between the audio demo (digital) and the actual music box (mechanical), there might be a slight difference on how they sound.

🛑 The order will not move forward until we get your approval for the melody. Your timely responses will definitely help us process your order in a timely manner too. Please add our email to your address book and check your Spam and Promotion tabs if you are not getting emails!

❗❗ Custom melody orders that are in the "Manufacturing Mechanism" stage and onwards can no longer be changed or canceled. Returns / exchanges are not accepted for customized orders but please contact us for order issues.

Can I get a sample of the custom melody?

Whether you order an "Audio Sample" only, or a Custom Melody Music box, we'll send you a digital demo via email once we successfully convert your song!

Due to time constraints, we don't check whether it's possible to turn your song into music box melody without an active order. In case it's not - your order will be fully refunded.

Can you convert my original composition to melody?

Yes, we do original compositions too. As long as it's within the music box capacity.Please note that we'll need the audio for Melody Conversion. We won't be able to produce a melody from sheet music.

◘◘◘ Important details re: 18-Note Music Box ◘◘◘

• The 18-Note windup type mechanism can accommodate 14 - 24 seconds of melody only. It varies depending on the amount and type of notes used in the song.

• 18 prongs or 18 musical notes are available to play during the course of a melody. But it doesn't mean that it just plays 18 notes and then stop. However, those 18 notes need to be within 3 octaves of the song.

• We can't place many consecutive pins (notes) together or too many repeating notes (same note played consecutively), because it will affect sound quality (squeaking, creaking sounds) and distort / break the mechanism.

• The mechanism can only accommodate a very few amount of long and / or repeating notes.

• Only 2 notes can play at the same time
