Automatic punch process from Music Box files - I did it!

[Dampfboot]

Today my 'Auto Electric Powered 30 Note Music Box' arrived from China. I just mounted it on a little piece of wood as sounding body. This is my first play with this machine.

Arrangement taken from the Music Box Strips page (Danke Hans-Martin Meyer-Georges for all this nice tunes!) http://www.jellybiscuits.com/?page_id=763 and changed from 20 note to 30 note by me. Automatically punched out on 50 cm / 19.7 inch long paper strips. Taped together by hand.

I think the motor is a little noisy and the tone tongues make some funny noise sometimes - maybe I can tune this a little (are there any experts in tuning this machines?) but anyway it is awesome!

Because I have made a setup to produce such punch cards automatically from Music Box Composer files I would be happy to make some from your compositions and arrangements too! In the moment i only can produce 30 note cards but also could change the setup to other formats if needed.

I am just back to this nice instrument -
So if someone is in need to get laser cut punch cards please don'T hesitate to contact me. I am not interested in big money because this is just a hobby.

By this you can send this cards to your friends also and you don'T cry to much if it is worn out...

Hi

Just so I understand - if I send you a file, can you then have it punched out for me?

Thanks in advance

I, too, have a file I'd love to get punched- is there a way for me to get in touch? Thanks!

I am interested to get such a punching-machine for punching also other Paperback papersizes and tracksizes. So could you tell me, where to buy this automat.
