The Resonance Box was designed to enrich the details of the sustaining sound effect of Muro Box N20, not just to amplify its volume, because the current volume of Muro Box N20 is loud enough for regular home settings.
The position of the sound hole
The position of the sound hole distinguishes Muro sound box design from other mechanical music boxes. Instead of maintaining it on the side, the present sound hole is on the top plate of the Resonance Box, like a kalimba. The Muro Team believes this is a preferable design because most musical instruments (e.g., guitar, violin, and cello) have a sound hole on the same side of the wooden box as the note-playing place.
The thickness of the wood plate
Muro chose the height of the wooden box and the thickness of each wood plate based on the sound test findings of how much detail they could retain rather than how loud the sound could be. As a result, they raise the height of the Resonance Box to enhance the bass sound effect, as well as the thickness of the side plates for a clearer sound impact.
The choice of the wood material
The top and bottom wood plates are the same: Zebra wood. This wood material is heavy and hard, and it is often used in making musical instruments, such as ukuleles and kalimbas. Their sound in the middle to high music range is richer when using the zebra wood. The wood material for two sides of the Resonance Box is hard maple, which is also commonly used in making guitars because it will make the sound become brighter.
Adding “shock absorbers”
The "shock absorbers" are put to the feet of the wooden box to prevent other items on the same table from co-vibrating with the plucking sound power of the Muro Box.
