Could a 4-minute tune be put on a cylinder music box?  I have
arranged Manolis Kalomiris' Nocturne (1) for the 30-note Sankyo
music box movement (2):

Originally, the person for whom I arranged it asked for a classical
cylinder music box.  My answer was that this would be impossible,
first, because the duration of this piece (more than 4 minutes) would
not fit on a cylinder music box (although it could be done with spiral
tracks); and second, that the cost would be enormous.

But -- I am not at all a specialist in music boxes, so is what I said
true?  Or could my arrangement be put on a cylinder music box with
reasonable cost?
