The movement
Your music box is composed of two handcrafted Reuge 3.72 movements.
On a 3.72 changing movement, a mechanism moves the cylinder sideways after each
tune, allowing the comb’s teeth to play the next tune with different pins. On each
cylinder, there is a total of three tunes. The tunes will always play one after another.
Please do not try to force the automatic movement of the melodies.
User instructions
To start and stop the movement
There are two “start” options for your use:
• Wheel in position : when button “Play” is activated (push down for 3
seconds), the movement stops at the end of the tune (one tune = one 360° turn
of the cylinder).
• Wheel in position : the movement plays until the end of the power
reserve of the moment – it might stop before a tune is finished. Once you return the
wheel back to position, the movement will stop at the end of the tune.
Use only one cylinder at a time to achieve best results.
To wind up the movement
Turn the propellers which are located at the back of the spring-houses, following the
direction of the arrows. The movement can stay charged or empty when not in use.
