How to Make a Music Box With the Song As the World Falls Down by David Bowie

Music boxes are instruments that produce sound from a rotating device that plucks the teeth of a tuned metal comb. Music boxes often serve the dual purpose of holding jewelry and makeup. While music boxes of the past were pre-made and rarely customizable, today you can buy a music box with the design and song of your choice. For instance, if your wedding song was David Bowie's "As the World Falls Down," then you can make a music box that plays this song and give it as an anniversary gift. The possibilities are endless.
