Read about Music Boxes on Wikipedia
A musical box (UK usage; music box in US English) is a 19th century automatic musical instrument that produces sounds by the use of a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder or disc so as to pluck the tuned teeth of a steel comb. They were developed from musical snuff boxes of the 18th century and called carillons à musique. Some of the more complex boxes also have a tiny drum and small bells, in addition to the metal comb. Note that the tone of a musical box is unlike that of any musical instrument (although it is best described as somewhere between the timbres of an mbira).
200 Years of Music Boxes
The history of the musical box is 200 years old. In 1796 a Swiss watchmaker named Antoine Favre described his idea for what we now call the cylinder musical box. He described the plucking of tuned steel teeth by pins in a rotating barrel. Over the next two centuries, many changes were made, including a new method of making music on tuned steel teeth, the disc musical box. Today, the sound remains the same as is did 200 years ago.The cylinder musical box grew out of the Swiss watchmakers craft from an accompaniment to watches and clocks into instruments of their own beauty and recognition. Competition in the musical box business was fierce and trade secrets were closely held. After the first hundred years, the cylinder musical box had been fully developed. In 1882 Miguel Boom of Haiti patented a design for a musical box that played not by a pinned cylinder but by a perforated disc. The next thirty years (1885-1915) saw the rapid development of the disc musical box industry, first in Leipzig, Germany then in Rahway, NJ, among other places. Read more on The Musical Box Museum.
