No one can tell me
the exact number of winds on a music box will get me to exactly the last note
of the tune. Here’s the thing, when ever
I ask, I get the same response… “Why do
you want to know?”
Besides that, the
odds of two music boxes being the same must be astronomical. So even if this box took 21 winds to reach the
exact last note, the box next to it might be completely different and take 18
or 41.
I believe what is
happening here is that I am having one of those thoughts that isn’t going to go
anywhere. I just ask the question, and
it gets left hanging out in space forever.
Someday, maybe years
from now, someone will be sitting around at a party, and the topic of music
boxes will come up. Back against the
wall, over there, somebody will recall that I asked the question years ago on
my Blog.
“What did he say
about it?”
“Nothing. He just left it hanging there.”
“Sounds like him.”

I tried to open an old music box with a new key. I tried a C key on the cylinder, but I still had treble. I think it’s time to think outside the music box.
