Within 3-5 days after you place your order, we will send the first demo for your approval.
After receiving the demo, you can request edits if it deviates from the original.
If you would like to change the song or the interval of the song, there is an additional cost of $15 USD for creating a new demo.
If you’re satisfied with the demo, click the “approve” button to confirm. We will then begin the manufacturing process, which takes another 4-9 days to complete.
To create the demo, we start by arranging the main melody, which is extracted from the vocal melody. It will be exactly the same as the original track. Then, we add an auxiliary melody (chord) and rearrange it based on the music box’s limitations.
Apart from the 24-second duration limitation, there are many other factors to consider. The melodies are calculated by a computer program to check the feasibility of production. See more information here.
The key of the song may change from the original, and you won’t be able to select the key. In some cases, the finished music box may have a different key from the demo due to software limitations.

During the demo process, if we find that your song doesn’t work, we will notify you to change the song. Alternatively, you can cancel at this stage, and we will refund your full payment.
If your song has already been processed into a demo (or is in the process of being created) but you’re not satisfied, you can either request further edits to the demo or cancel the order. If you cancel at this stage, there is a $20 cancellation fee.
If you paid a deposit, the deposit will not be refundable if your song can be processed to create a demo.

Custom tune music box is the music box which produced with specific tune. And it will be only one piece in the world.
This is the only one place in the world where you can make the custom tune music box with a mechanical movement* in an affordable price. (*a traditional mechanism, not a digital module)
The mechanism inside the music box is wind-up mechanism.
The mechanism’s brand is Sankyo (Japan).
How to play it? : wind up the key underneath the mechanism and itwill start playing.
How long does the sound of music play last? A music box plays continuously until it runs out of wind-up energy. Each winding can play for approximately 2-3 minutes or 7-8 loops.
The interval of the song to make a music box can be 14 – 24 seconds in length. This interval will be one loop on a music box.

4 Checklists to make music fit to the music box

This song has clear and simple melodies. It should not be Jazz, Hip-hop, Classical or Guitar instrumental song.
The interval selected is the chorus part of the song (Vocal part). It’s easiest to transcribe the melody from “word”.
The interval selected is not exceed 24 seconds in length. Select start and end carefully, otherwise your song will not be looped well.
The interval selected does not contain too many repeated notes. This is an example of too many repeated notes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpqqjU7u5Yc at 0:58-1:13. The repeated notes also create a creaking sound on real music box.
