The cylinder shifts sideways between rotations so one song plays out over roughly 130 seconds — three full passes — rather than the 20-second loop of an ordinary music box. This is the mechanism you see in $2,000+ presentation boxes, sold here as the movement alone so you can fit it to your own case, restoration, or display stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement: Nidec Sankyo ORPHEUS 72n-K01, 72 notes, single cylinder, sliding-cylinder design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTune: Pachelbel's Canon (J.
