Bursting with Music! Melorin Rondo

DENSO Mechatronics Components Manufacturing Div.

A multi-song music box: a variable cam mechanism inside the drum raises only the pins for the notes to be played, and as the drum turns, those pins set the kalimba’s tines vibrating, making it possible to switch between songs.

About This Work

An Instrument Combining a Music Box with the Kalimba, a Traditional African Instrument

Whereas an ordinary music box just repeats a set tune, we built a new instrument that uses a rotating cam mechanism to control the timing and pitch of each note, giving it far more freedom in what it can play.
