About MeSwiss made cylinder music box; these are the most recognised style and became widespread in the 19th century. The music is produced by a metal cylinder that fits inside the wooden box with raised pins programmed with the musical score. A spring motor is often wound by a ratched lever, giving the instrument the prescribed length of time of playing.
