Muro Box is the World's First App-Controlled Mechanical Music box.
Muro Box is short for “Music Robot in a Box,” because the cylinder of Muro Box functions like a robot that you can control at will, striking the comb to play your desired music box tunes!
Its patented cylinder has flexible pins that break the limitation of the 200 years old music box industry. With Muro Box (music box), now you can enjoy the whole song, not limited to a 15 second segment anymore.
With our free Muro Box App, you can easily find free melodies, compose melodies, and edit your playlists before sending them to play on the Muro Music Box. You can even schedule multiple playlists to start playing music at different times to bring you surprise and joy in daily life.

Which Music Box Has the Best Sound?
The Beautiful Sound of a Music Box Comes from these key components: Comb, Metal Base, and Wood Box
The N20 and N40 Standard models share the same material and design, differing only in the number of notes and the inclusion of semitones. The N40 Sublime is our flagship model, featuring a four-comb configuration, an acacia wood box, and pure brass base that adds a unique character to its resonance.
Let’s listen to their live performances to find the sound that resonates with you the most.
The World's First App-Controlled Music Box, Muro Box, is Made in Taiwan
Each comb corresponds to 20 notes, with every note’s striking action controlled by six precision components. A 20-note smart music box contains 120 parts in the cylinder alone, and a complete N20 smart music box has over 500 parts!
Each component undergoes countless experiments to ensure optimal performance. Every Muro Box is a unique work of art, crafted for you to savor and enjoy.
This video was made by a famous TV news channel in Taiwan who invited the founders of Muro Box to introduce their products.

Creating My Own Melodies to Play on a Music Box is Not a Dream Anymore
雞湯G.J. Lee
“I am currently devoted to teaching Ukulele. The first time I knew Muro Box was during the 2018 campaign in Taiwan.
I found this company to be admirable. Music box is not a necessity in life, and nowadays many people are not familiar with it. Even though the product may not be profitable, they still did their best to strive for the better sound quality regardless of the high production cost.
Seeing their perseverance in making music boxes into handicrafts and combining the convenience of modern technology to make more people willing to understand music boxes again. Hence, I am touched and willing to spend a long time recording an unbox video to present the fruit of their years of effort.”
The Music Box is the Most Precious Gift from My Father
Emily Gvino
My dad purchased the Muro Box for me as a wedding present for my wedding in June 2019. The Muro Box came ready to play “You’ll Be in My Heart” by Phil Collins, our special song since I was a little girl. He would always play Phil Collins’ CD in the car; my dad, sister, and I would sing along, driving with the windows down in the summertime. We had every word memorized!
Muro Box is the COOLEST MIDI Instrument!
Shawn
“I’ve released a ton of albums and also recorded songs for films and videos. I’m a big fan of the Muro Box – the amazing electro-acoustic mechanical music box that lets you play your own melodies on its own time. You can connect MIDI keyboards, use their app or even send the notes to play from your DAW (like Ableton, etc).”
Now, I can Manage All of My Paper-Strip Music Box Melodies in a Cloud Library!
Hanneke
“When I was around 10 years old I came across a music box that worked with paper strips, and also fell in love with its sound.I spent much of my allowance on preprinted music strips, which I still own – along with that music box.
Many of those songs on paper strips were really well made. It’s those strips that I’m now adding to the Muro Box library.”

The Origin of Muro Box
After receiving our doctoral degrees in the US, we decided to integrate our expertise in engineering and education to start our own company. A tiny music box we bought in Austria when we first knew each other was the seed that inspired our startup dream.
We haven’t played this meaningful music box for a long time because it repeats the same melody. When listening to its playing, we started to wonder what if the music box can play more songs to present our memories from different stages of life?
While we were recalling our shared memories in the past 10 years, we decided to redesign its cylinder to let it play more melodies of our own choices, and then our product development journey began in 2016.
“Telling Your Stories with Technology” is our company’s vision. We hope that technology not only brings us convenience in life, but also shortens the distance between people.
Therefore, we invented the music box that can play your own memories. We hope the music box will become each family’s heirloom to preserve their own unique memories.
