if 1744 is supposed to be referring to the year the Magic Flute was premiered, that would be impossible considering Mozart was born in 1756

[@polyphon1950]

No, number 1744 is the disc number as printed on it and in the makers catalogue, an unfortunate mis-leading number for you.

[@Ziad3195]

Which movement is this?

[@musical-box-society]

The disc does not tells us which part this tune is, sorry.

[@musical-box-society]

Or did you mean what type of combs - the answer is single comb.
