You know, it could do that I suppose. I haven't done it a lot, but when I tried it on the clock, I was very patient, didn't really force anything and it worked. I'm not sure about a smaller mechanism like the music box, but if she can get it to maybe tinkle once or twice, the thing might start playing. At any rate, the key would be not to force anything and maybe do a sort of rocking motion.
