<sod>A '''music box''' or '''musical box''' is an automatic [[musical instrument]] that produces sounds by the use of a set of [[pin]]s placed on a revolving [[cylinder (geometry)|cylinder]] or disc so as to pluck the tuned teeth (or [[Lamellophone|''lamellae'']]) of a steel [[comb]]. They were developed from musical [[Decorative boxes#Snuff box|snuff box]]es of the 18th century and called ''carillons à musique''. Some of the more complex boxes also have a tiny [[drum]] and/or small [[bell]], in addition to the metal comb.<eod>
