Krankie | Lo-Fi Crank Music Box With Recorder & Pitch Control
The Krankie has new look for 2025! Same creative gadget, diy composing fun, but with the pitch control knob on the top of the box for easier play.
Have you seen Jeff Tweedy of Wilco using his Krankie? Well you too can use your lo-fi music box to play and sing Happy Birthday or compose your own music just like a pro.
Our music box comes with a pre-punched "Happy Birthday" roll, three blank rolls and a hole puncher. Record a melody in all its glory and unique weirdness. Play it back with pitch control to explore outrageous highs and lows. Flip the switch to keep the fun on repeat.
Experience the magic of making music
Punch some holes in the paper piano roll, crank it through the music box, and instantly transform your composition into something wildly magical.
I gave the krankie to my husb for our 10th anniversary (trad gift is “tin”) he hasn’t gotten around to play with it that much yet but it’s such a fun piece! the items bought came with a really sweet note from someone who also just celebrated year 10- I really appreciated the hand written note with words of absolute kindness. thank you (and happy anniversary to you and your wife too!)
Love the Krankie and everything about Brand New Noise.
Second stop is Jupiter
Was given this as a Christmas present and I’m totally in love. Can’t wait to incorporate this into recordings and performances.
This Krankie was a Christmas gift for our son and he loves it! We were all amazed at what he could do with it. It was sent super quickly and carefully packaged! It was a great experience!
Only peeped into the box because this Krankie is a gift, but it looks amazing! I’m so excited to see if my brother loves it! Thank you for the awesome instrument!
