The main differences between the 18-tone music box and the 30-tone music box are as follows:

1. The number of soundboard combs is different

The number of notes represents the music box The number of notes of a movement is actually the number of rows of pronunciation racks in the movement. The more racks there are, the higher the number of notes. Therefore, the 30-tone music box has more pronunciation racks than the 18-tone music box.

2. Different timbres

The more notes there are, the richer the tone will be, and the richer the tune and melody will be. Therefore, the music played by the 30-tone music box sounds better than the 18-tone music box.

3. Different cycle times

Generally, movements with less than 22 tones cycle in 8-17 seconds, while music box movements with more than 30 tones generally cycle in 35 seconds-8 minutes. An 18-note song lasts about 18 seconds, and a 30-note song lasts about 35 seconds.
