Best Piano music For Weddings
Musical jewelry boxes hold a special place in the hearts of not just adults but also little girls. Have you tried opening a musical jewelry box and watched and listened in awe at the little ballerina dancing to the melodic tune? Have you ever thought of how these wonderful musical boxes came about?
The first musical box was seen during the 19th century in Switzerland. Did you know that they were originally designed for men to carry around in their pockets? Quite interesting, isn't it?
Today, these boxes are more inclined to be used by women. During those times, musical boxes came in various shapes and sizes - from pocket sized versions to larger pieces of furniture. They were so expensive that only the rich and the affluent could afford them.
Today, thanks to automation and mass production, musical jewelry boxes can be acquired by anyone. You've probably wondered how such a small thing can produce music. They work as if there are tiny little men inside with their musical instruments playing. So how does a musical box work?
The basic components of a musical box includes a brass metal cylinder with raised pins spaced in a way to create melody, a steel comb with teeth that have been tuned to produce different notes, and a spring mechanism attached to the cylinder that is wound in order to make the system work. When the spring is wound, the cylinder turns and the teeth of the comb are plucked by the pins in the cylinder that produces the melody. Popular music used in these boxes include classical music like Swan Lake and well-known disney songs and children's tunes.
The soothing sounds produced by a music box stir memories and emotions and can trigger different moods. Adults enjoy a musical box that evoke sentiments of longing as it brings back memories of days gone by. For young girls, they bring joy and delight; but whatever age it would be, musical jewelry boxes always bring a smile. Musical boxes are considered treasures and they need to be kept in good condition.
Here are some tips for keeping your musical jewelry box in top condition.
First you need to make sure that the box is kept in a horizontal position. Always carry and store it horizontally and never vertical or upside down as this may destroy the internal mechanism. Do not wind the spring while the music is still playing. This may destroy the teeth of the comb.
Always wait for the music to end before winding again. Store the box in a dry place away from sunlight and at moderate temperature. If you notice any internal damage, take it to a professional for repairs. Do not take apart the box to repair it yourself. You might ruin other delicate parts.
Proper care of your musical jewelry box ensures that it's always in good condition even for future generations.
