Pachelbel's Music Box Canon in D

Pachelbel's Canon in D, arranged for Music Box! Three music boxes play the same strip of paper in sequence to create the canon, while the basso continuo is played by a fourth music box playing a loop. Visually see the structure of Pachelbel's Canon.

@WiVaBo Pardon, I was misinterpreting the context. Of course it flips.. so one would have to have a tune that worked that way. The simplest method that sort of defeats the purpose is to have a second set of tone blades going the other way, and only mark holes on half the ribbon. A more interesting method is to compose a tune that should be flipped halfway.

@0LoneTech If you look at that video, the music is inverted halfway through. In other words, she wouldn't be playing Pachelbel's Canon in D. Half the time, it would sound different.

@WiVaBo It did work - she did it, for another tune.

@adrianfrom01 It wouldn't work, because it would go over the same notes, but upside down.
