Valentine’s present turned Wedding symbol, Joana’s Music Box sings an ethereal lullaby. The essential small instrument for your big sounds

Pay What You Want

This music box was a Valentine’s present from my wife when we were dating.

Years later, when we decided to get married, I wanted to write an arrangement with this instrument for us to sing over in the ceremony. Unfortunately the box’s mechanism broke during this process, so I had to buy a new one for the ceremony…

… fortunately… when my wife gave me the music box, one of my first thoughts was to sample it.

So today I get to share the original Valentine’s present with you.

Sampled inside a large wooden box for added resonance and warmth, I used two KM184s to capture the raw and pure sound of the music box.

Added to that, you also have access to a warped version of the sound with which you can create vibrant and shimmering textures.
