![]() We then have a second thought on the material of the damper. ![]() Soon we realize that if it is possible by just tweaking the shape, it will be done already by the original designer. ![]() We start from modifying the shape of the original damper, and hope to make it more effective. If you are interested in learning more about how a damper works in a piano to maintain its sustaining sound effect, please watch the video below. However, because the size of a music box is smaller and simpler, there is no perfect solution for its damper design yet. It is responsible for the end of a note, to make it a smooth sound. In other musical instruments, for example, a piano has its own unique Damper Pedal to serve the similar function. The function of the damper on the comb is to work as a cushion to reduce the noise from the pin’s collision on the vibrating tooth of the comb. ![]() This noise comes from the next pin to touch the vibrating tooth of the comb before its vibration ends from the previous plucking. This sound is like the noise you will hear in a music box when it plucks one note continuously at a fast speed. Then, when you get a pen to use its tip to touch the vibrating ruler, you will hear a sharp collision sound. If you keep a ruler’s one side attached to the table’s edge and use your finger to pluck the other side that is hanging in the air. Let’s use a simple test with a rule to explain its mechanical design’s limitations.
