Before you start, please watch the video I recorded, which will help you understand the whole melody.
Please understand that the sound presented in the video will be much smaller than the actual sound.
So, let's get started.
I know some people think these parts are so simple that they don't need to read the assembly instructions.
But I've seen a lot of people make mistakes in the assembly and the music is not as good as expected!
Please refer to my assembly instructions (pdf file) before assembling, and then if you have any problems, I hope to have photos so I can help you solve them!
May you all have fun with it, and not be disappointed!

To make sure you get a good printout, you can print the comb part first and then use the method in the video to test if it produces a bright sound.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EXfQZVVLFPo
For those of you who find the base support hard to remove, check out this short video

The correct assembly of the comb parts is shown in the photo.

In this version, in order to make the drum and base close together, the width of the base is 1cm smaller than the drum, so when you load the drum, you need to use a little bit of force to support the base as shown in the picture.
Because some people have already encountered this problem, I would like to remind you about it
(I mentioned it in the assembly instructions, and there are arrows on the base)
The handle of the music box must be turned slowly and counterclockwise.
Turn clockwise, and you will directly break Comb's finger
Lean the music box against an empty cardboard box, wooden crate, wooden table, glass window, etc. where it can resonate so that the sound will be louder, then slowly turn the handle and you will hear the melody.

Thanks for the idea from @N9Volt
I'm sure many of you are familiar with this song, so I've taken a small snippet from it to create this music box, and I hope you all have fun!
