About this tree
Maple from Utrecht. Sonnenborgh
This maple tree stood on the canal in the bend against the quay wall of observatory Sonnenborgh in the heart
Utrecht. The tree is from around 1900 and had to be felled due to root pressure against the quay wall.
Want to know more about (the symbolism) of trees? Then I can heartily recommend the following website: "The voice of the trees"
Description
Music box made from a maple from Utrecht.
Number of boxes now in stock: See above. If sold out: Reorder possible. (extra delivery time)
This small music box has a cut out Winter King on a branch at the top! The mechanism (for which you can choose a melody yourself) is manual. This means that you have to turn the lever yourself! Depending on the melody, the mechanism is silver with a red ball or completely gold.
The box on the pictures is 1 from the series. Wood drawing and color of the box that you eventually receive will differ slightly because each box is unique.
How is it made?
This music box is a synthesis of modern technology and craftsmanship. After the wood (sustainable reuse of a city tree) has been carefully selected by Rob and sawn and planed to size, it is hollowed out with the aid of a computer-controlled cutter. The box (which consists of 2 parts) is made of 1 piece of wood! without the use of glue. After it has been eroded, it is put together by Rob and finished. (lots of sanding!) The box is treated with natural oil. At the bottom of each box the tree data is written, as well as the month and year in which it was made (often for later!) A box is made in the same month in which the child was born or the wedding or any other event for which the box was given )
Extra information:
Dimensions: 65x65x55mm (LxWxH)
Weight: more than 100 grams
Comes in a suitable cardboard box with a beautiful card (NL / ENG) on which the melody is also mentioned.

If you have your own composition that you would like to have on mechanics, or a piece of music that does not yet exist on mechanics, then there are the following options:
Large winding mechanism with custom melody
For a large, luxurious mechanism with 30 tones, it is possible to have an arrangement made of a piece of music that you supply yourself. This can be an audio file, (you tube) video or sheet music. Ideally both audio / video + sheet music. The mechanism fits a maximum of 35 seconds. So indicate with your application exactly which piece it is of a maximum of 35 seconds.
Costs: 219 euros (excluding music box). Only possible in combination with a music box for luxury mechanics. If you are interested, please contact Rob or order a music box directly. On the product page you can choose the last option 'Custom Tune' at 'Melody' and fill in the details. In the webshop menu, go to music boxes 'With Luxemechaniek'
On request, your own melody on a 50-tone mechanism is also possible. From 995, - incl. Wooden sound box.
Large manual mechanism to program yourself
Another possibility is a 'make your own melody' set. If you are musically inclined you can make your own melody with the punch pliers and the supplied paper strip. This mechanism has 20 or 30 tones and a very nice warm sound. It is manual, which means that you have to keep running to let it play. On this website, the mechanism is available both separately and with a wooden sound box. Here for sale
Large runs for small mechanics with 18 tones.
The small mechanisms with a self-supplied melody can also be made in large quantities:
From 1000 pieces the price per hand mechanism is approximately 2,50 ex. VAT. plus 250 euro development costs and shipping costs (varies) Delivery time: approximately 8 weeks.
The minimum order is for windable mechanics (18 tones) 250 pieces and the price around 10 euro ex. VAT per item. Delivery time: 8 weeks.
(prices are only for the mechanics, without wooden sound box)
I do not yet know the text for engraving.
For example, if you want the box to be delivered quickly before a birth, but you do not yet know the name and date of birth, it is best to order the box (with engraving, fill in: 'text will be later') due to delivery time / availability . As soon as you know the text for engraving, email this to me. Then I can usually engrave it within a few days.
Can I have my own logo / image engraved?
Yes, that's possible. Keep in mind that the engraving is black / white. So if a logo / image is graphic then we can usually engrave it. When a good quality file is supplied in pdf, the price is 15, -. If the file still needs editing then 10-20 euro is added. Send the file by e-mail for a quote.
Can I have multiple surfaces engraved?
Yes, that's possible. First choose the area before the first engraving and fill in the desired text. After this an option for a second engraving for another plane appears. If you want a third engraving, please contact us.
Layout of text
By default we use the font 'Gabriola Regular'. Subtle, elegant and with beautiful sleek lines, perfect for engraving. (a different font is possible on request if it is in our 'font' collection)
The layout is provided by us by engraving. How this will look depends on the number of characters and the available surface. It is therefore possible that texts with long sentences are divided over multiple lines. If you would like to have an example of this in advance, let us know.
The standard melody collection can be found in the audio playlists and in the drop down menu with each box.
For the complete lists of all other melodies that can be ordered, go to the Audio page and scroll all the way down. If the melody you are looking for is not listed, then I cannot order it for you either.
The difference is that with a manual mechanism you have to keep turning on the lever to make the music sound. This lever is always on the side and is visible. Depending on the melody, it is silver-colored with a red ball or completely golden. A manual mechanism has 18 tones.
A wind-up mechanism plays by itself for a few minutes. You just need to wind it up, the further you wind it the longer it plays. The winding key is on the bottom of the box, out of sight. A wind-up mechanism is available in various versions. The smallest has 18 tones. Larger, more expensive machine heads have 30,36,50 or even 72 tones.
This indicates the number of tones that are on the mechanism. To be more precise; The mechanism has a comb with teeth that are tuned from high to low. There is also a rotating cylinder with pins, the position of these pins make the melody, and every time a peg touches a tooth, a tone sounds. The smallest and most sold mechanisms have 18 tones. (music box Lude, Celesta, Robin, Tamino) There are also larger mechanisms with 30, 36 (Tamino, Calandra) and 50 tones (Orpheus, from 675 euro). You can imagine that the more tones there are, the more beautiful it will sound because it is closer to the original. The mechanism also plays longer and contains a larger fragment of the original piece of music. The quality of the materials is better and therefore also the sound.

Engraving examples
Examples of engravings.
The formatting of the specified text is provided separately per box. The final result depends on the amount of text and the available space. The more text, the smaller the letters. (long sentences are split)
We use 'Gabriola Regular' as the font as standard. The text will be engraved exactly as you have specified (except for long lines that can be split). An example: If you want a date written out, enter: 2 January instead of 02-01

We are very happy with our beautiful refined music box.
The wood comes from a tree that stood at our wedding location, the music is the lullaby song we sang for our son, and the image of the little wren refers to the snow-white winter day when our son was born. In addition, the engravings with names and dates that are important to us complete this tangible memory.

Beautiful gift. The story behind it not only makes it beautiful but also valuable. A reminder to remember in the form of a box. Thanks!
