I remember the time that we walked hand in hand at the Taipei Cultural and Creative Park, and inadvertently walked into a music box store with a wide variety of music boxes in colorful and exquisite wood carvings, which made us wander in the store for a long time. I noticed a hand crank music box at a corner, which only needs to feed a paper strip to play. According to the instructions, simply punch holes in the correct positions on the staff, a beautiful melody can then be played.
“This thing is so cool. Let’s buy it because I really liked it.” I said. But in my mind, I was telling myself that I will make a melody with it for my wife.
The Challenge of Arranging Music with a Hand Crank Music Box
I purchased my first 20-note hand crank music box for around 1,600 NT dollars at that time. After studying it for a few days, I found that there is a threshold to compose a melody by myself.
First of all, I must understand music. Secondly, the paper strips that came with the music boxes are blank without any scale markings, nor with any specified song printed, so I have to find the correct position of each note on the blank paper strip and punch holes.

It Takes a Whole Day Just to Complete One Song
After several days of research, I was finding the correct position of each note on the blank paper tape and punch holes. It is actually not difficult, but the thing is that you have to spend a lot of time repeatedly marking, checking, and punching holes. It takes a whole day just to complete one song.
(In order to express my love for my wife, I overcame all of these)
First Encounter with Muro Box
On a cool autumn day in 2022, I saw Tevofy Technology Ltd. was advertising their Muro Box N20 Lite model on the Internet. With a vague memory of where I’ve seen its product before, but remembering they were raising funds to mass produce this smart music box in the past, I decided to get to know the Muro smart music box. Such a magical coincidence is like the first time I met my wife on the Internet.
I Will Compose More Melodies for My Wife with Muro Box
“Thanks For Your Love” by Hsieh Ho-Hsien was the first melody I made for my wife on the hand crank music box. But now, I can use the composing function in the free Muro Box App to create the same melody much easier.
Muro Box is a Small Piano Player
I no longer have to spend a lot of time on making marks and punching holes repeatedly. Instead, I have more time to chat and dine with my wife and listen to the music we love.
For me, the Muro Box is not just a music box, it is more like a small piano player. I highly recommend it to everyone!

"Handmade" is the way for the husband to convey his love for his wife, and we are happy to share their story and preserve the beautiful memories of the couple!](jpg/%e6%b0%b4%e8%97%8d%e8%89%b2%e7%b2%be%e9%9d%88_banner_mobile-890x1024.jpg)
