- Its three-step explanation traces how a wound spring turns a pinned cylinder that plucks differently sized steel-comb teeth.
Field notes
The page lays out the mechanism as a three-step sequence: winding stores effort in a spring, pins on a rotating cylinder pluck the comb, and each differently sized tooth rings a note. Its collection lists a Classic Walnut Box and a Crystal Clear Box, both marked free, alongside excerpts from five public-domain classics. The iOS and Android apps are described as coming soon; the iOS interface is currently Traditional Chinese only.
