Tiny steel tines, recorded one by one.

The notes are recordings of a real music box comb, each tine plucked on its own, from the D an octave above middle C upward. A real comb is tuned for one song and skips notes; here the nearest tine is retuned so every key plays.

Lullabies on a MIDI keyboard.

Plug in a controller and play your own tune high on the keyboard, where a music box lives. Slow melodies and lullabies suit it best: let each note chime and fade.

Free, and nothing to wind up.

No download, no account and no sign-up. Play it, record it, and keep the WAV, which is made on your own device.
