The music is so loud that any creature within 60 feet must succeed at a DC 24 Fortitude save or become deafened for as long as they remain within 60 feet of the music box, and for 1 minute thereafter. The box has a large button on its side, and it must be set down on a flat surface in order to activate it while it's activated, the rumbling and churning gears inside the box make it impossible to carry without dropping it.Īctivate Interact Effect You press the button on the side of the music box, causing it to erupt with a cacophonous and discordant melody for 1 minute while it plays its entire melody, and it can't be shut off prematurely.

Back then, music boxes were actually used to enjoy some nice parlor music, unlike the little twirling ballerina box you might find in your grandmother's attic. In the 19th century, Swiss artisan watchmakers continually refined the design.

Some were the size of a loaf of bread, others as big as a dresser. Music boxes have been around since the 18th century. Some more complicated music boxes even contained a small drum or little bells. The sounds that resonate from the vibrating prongs are the notes we hear-lower notes from longer prongs and higher notes from shorter ones. A music box works by rotating a metal cylinder with protruding pins that pluck the individual prongs of a steel comb.
