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.

The piece wasn't forgotten about for 200 years, the basses and celli hid it away so that they wouldn't have to play it!

I would say this is awesome, but I used to play the cello. We hate Canon in D on principle. It's in the contract.

There really aren't any chromatic music boxes for sale?

I actually had the overwhelming urge to clap when it finished... so I did. *clap clap clap clap clap clap* ^_^

This is one of the most wow versions of Pachelbel's Canon in D.

I can't believe that this has been on YouTube for almost four years and it hasn't gone viral! This is AWESOME! (And I don't even like Canon in D due to overexposure. And I'm a violinist. No string musician likes playing it)!

I'd love to see you guys put this piece in it's full form in a bigger music box, and perhaps a bit more well oiled one ;)

Lovely piece of music and trivia!
