Otokibako music box
26th February, 2007 by stuart
Working a little bit like a music box, Otokibako, is a little electronic music player that works by feeding it a “melody data sheet” while turning a wooden handle. The sheets cover 3 octaves, and are read by the box using light sensors that tell it what note to play. It comes with 8 tones and 15 melodies, but the beauty of it is that you can create your own melody data sheets by using the special Otokibako software. Compose and print your very own mini symphonies for only 3,500 yen (£15/£29).
