Music Box (Musical box) is a mechanical sounding musical instrument. It was invented by Swiss watchmaker Antoine Fabre in 1796. It can automatically play music by turning the chain link in the box. This antique is housed in the Arashiyama Music Box Museum in Kyoto, Japan.

The music box is also called the music box. The origin of the music box can be traced back to the European Renaissance in the Middle Ages. At that time, in order to make the church bell tower tell time, large and small clocks were equipped with mechanical devices, which were called "sounding bells."

In 1598, Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci came to Beijing for the first time, and among his gifts was a music instrument. This is the earliest musical instrument recorded in history that entered China. After various inventions, around 1780, the Swiss in La Yunfang were inspired by the principle of the puppet automatic clock and invented an amazing mechanism - the mechanical bird clock

1796 In 1998, the invention of a Geneva clockmaker brought revolutionary changes to the mechanical music box, allowing the size of the music box to be reduced to the limit, and it was successfully developed in the following century. In the same year, Swiss watchmaker Antoine Fabre developed the cylindrical music box, which is the oldest music box in the world. This antique is housed in the Arashiyama Music Box Museum in Kyoto, Japan. In 1870, a German inventor created the first disk-type music box.
