Tune Description
The sound this musical movement produces is a little bit thinner in texture than most; therefore there is a difference in the effect of the music in general. The movement does not sound like a Swiss or German music box movement, but is more like the musical instrument known as a Celeste.
The "Nocturne" in this arrangement is more melodic. There is not as much emphasis on accompaniment as would normally be the case. The melody line of "Nocturne" comes across quite clearly.
The effect of the "Valse" or "Waltz" here is like a soft rain or shower in the spring. The music is almost like a mist or dew on the ground in the morning. The music paints a picture of someone watering their flowers.
50 Note Movement
This kind of Nidec/Sankyo movement plays two or three tunes (or parts)
and is made in Japan. Playing time is usually about 6 minutes. There
are fifty notes (or "teeth")
on the comb. There is a lot of bass sound in the comb, and the arrangements
are usually very spectacular in nature. Our in-house comb machine and
Rick's expertise result in
Bell-Like Tuning unrivalled
in new movements for decades.
