Greetings:

Well, you could be talking about two different things.

The first is the music box that is found on his bedside table. The
various sounds provide a clue that will unlock Catherine's prison.

The second is an Easter Egg called "Ghen's Opera."

Gehn's Opera
In this movie Gehn (John Keston) shows us one of his hidden talents.
After clicking the center of the star on the wall carpet in his bedroom,
Gehn walks in from the right and sings us the first verse of the famous
italian 'O Sole Mio (lyrics by Capurro, music by Di Capua).
The above was retrieved from one of the Riven-related web sites. The
movie takes place upstairs with you still inside the cage, so the
reference to "his bedroom" may be slightly off. I have not tried
accessing it from the game, so I do not know if it really works or
not.

You can also use the Riven Player program to see the movie by itself.
On the Riven DVD version it is located in \Data\o_Data.MHK\10_ogo.mov.
On the Riven CD version you will find it on Disk 5 also as
o_Data.MHK\10_ogo.mov. The DVD version is slightly different in that
they added a drum roll at the end.

Best regards,

It might be the music box, I havent played the game in ages. I dont think
it is though, I seem to remember it was some kind of instrument? You push a
button on the top I seem to remember and some music is played, the sound
resembles (at least to me) a kind wind instrument. Know what I mean?

I do not recall any musical instruments in Exile.

There were some sounds played on one of the Ages in Myst whenever the
Communications Tower was aligned to the proper locations.

Also there was an electric organ inside the Rocket Ship that required
you to play the correct notes and correlate them to the lever settings
before one could link to that Age.
Know what I mean?
No, I don't know what you mean. Perhaps you should identify the
correct game and then the circumstances and/or location. Otherwise we
are left just guessing. I'm trying to be helpful but without further
details I can't think of where or what it might be. Sorry.

Its Riven, and its when you are get out of Ghens prison, in his age( after
imprisoning Ghen) you can look around and there is a musical... uh...
thing... standing there with a little button on top.

Yes, in the main floor of Gehn's workshop on the 233rd age, there is a
device that has a button on top. When the button's pressed, the box played
some soft, jazzy-type music for a short while. There appeared to be a
speaker on the device's front and it had (I think) a long, slender stand
(like a floor lamp might have). Sorry, but I don't recall the thing having
a name.

That would be Gehn's Cannen. The D'ni Desk Reference has a pic at:

Yes thats it!!!

"Cannen
A recording device made by Gehn upon which he recorded his performance on
the Maral-obe. He kept the cannen in his office on Age 233. You can listen
to the music by clicking the button on the top. (RSB)"
