The original paper strips which came with the music box are 0.3 mm (0,0118 inch) thick. For me it looks like they are some kind of plastic coated?
My first trials with 0.5 mm thick paper ruined my first music box already because it was so thick that the gears broke apart.
Next I tried out 'Cromolux' paper because it comes in the original thickness of .3 mm and has one nice mirror like shiny side.
But I found out that this paper is to soft to withstand the mechanical treatment by the pick levers.
In the moment I have quite some success with a 250 g/m² and 0,2 mm thick three times coated letterpress paper from a local shop. Will play it some more times to tell you if it is good or not.Statistics: Posted by Dampfboot — Sat Jan 09, 2016 10:55 pm
