Attach a musical instrument on to our striking musical stand. Activate your
switch and it beats to any preset rhythm. Now everyone can be included in
music time. Great for increasing eye-hand coordination. Speed is adjustable.
Set includes cluster bells, castanets and a jingle stick. Size: 9"L x 6½"W x
4⅛"H. Requires Capability Switch and 8 AA Batteries. Weight: 1¾ lbs
Operation:
1. The Music Machine requires 8 AA batteries (Not included). Alkaline
batteries are recommended because they last longer. Do not use
rechargeable batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit may
not perform as well.
2. The battery compartments are located under the unit. Carefully turn the
unit over. Remove the battery covers screws by turning them
counterclockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver. Install batteries, being
careful to observe proper battery polarity.
3. Replace the battery case covers and secure them with screws. Do not over-
tighten.
4. Plug in your capability switch into the 1/8" jack. The striking arm will
only move during switch activation. The speed or tempo, at which the
striking arm moves, can be adjusted. Turning the black adjusting knob
clockwise increases the speed, counterclockwise decreases speed.
5. Make sure that you have TIGHT connections between your switch and
The Music Machine. There should be no gaps.
6. To attaché your instrument, loosen the black knob of clamp that is
connected to the black gooseneck. Do this only enough to accommodate
your instrument. Tighten the knob just enough to hold the instrument
securely. Please Note: overtighting of the knob will cause damage to
this unit. There is a second knob on this clamp, which is used to adjust the
angle of your instrument. Clockwise tightens the silver knob and
counterclockwise loosens this knob.

arm to accommodate your instrument. With one hand hold the base of the
gooseneck, with your other hand bend the gooseneck to adjust the
instruments placement. Please see Figs 1 thru 4.
Please Note: The speed adjustment is not liner on this product.
You will only have about a 1/8
speed setting to make any speed adjustments.
