Hello Philippe Rouille, a very good idea to give an advice like that.
You might expand it with following experience for smaller movements:
-- NEVER WIND UP A MUSIC BOX WHILE IT IS PLAYING: The cylinder might
go back a little bit and ruin teeth, dampers or pins. Let the music box
play until the end of the tune.
-- BLOCK THE SPEED REGULATOR FOR SENDING / MOVING: You should block
the speed regulator with a little piece of paper, if you will be
transporting it over long distances.
Now and again people ask me: How To Care For A Music Box. You have given
the answer. Do you agree, if I make a translation into German?
