This small music box has a carved Robin on a branch at the top.
The mechanism (for which you can choose a melody yourself) can be wound on the bottom. It plays 3-4 minutes. The melody repeats after approximately 15 seconds.
Note: The box in the photos is 1 from the series. A representative specimen. However: wood drawing and color of the box that you eventually receive may differ because each box is unique.
If necessary, the box can also be opened (it consists of two parts that clamp together). But the best sound is obtained when the box is closed.
How is it made?
This music box is a synthesis of modern technique and handicraft. After the wood (sustainable reuse of a city tree) has been carefully selected by Rob and sawn to size and planed, it is hollowed out using a router.
The box is made from 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.
The tree information is written on the bottom of each box, as well as the month and year in which the box was made
(nice for later! often a box is made in the same month in which the child was born or the wedding or any other event took place 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.
About this tree
Beech from Haarlem. Haarlemmerhout
This old giant (+150 years) stood in the oldest urban forest in the Netherlands: De Haarlemmerhout. Killed in the summer storm of 2015. The giant trunk has been sawn by 'Dutch Wood' located in the Haarlem nursery garden. They ensure a circular use of local wood.
Below is an image of 1 of the giants that died during the storm. The trunk had to be split before being able to saw.

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:
Small winding mechanism with 18 notes
For each music box made for small wind-up mechanism (18 notes) you can have your own melody made based on a music fragment (e.g. from a YouTube video). On the product page of the chosen box, choose the option 'melody' > 'Custom Tune', and follow the instructions. Costs: 180,- euros incl. 21% VAT. (this is on top of the price of the box) Delivery time: 2 months. Choose a box
If you are going to make the arrangement yourself, keep the following in mind:
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 (SOLD OUT)
Large runs for small mechanics with 18 tones.
The small machine heads 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. For wind-up machine heads (18 tones), the minimum order is 250 pieces and the price is approximately 10 euros ex. VAT per piece. Delivery time: 8 weeks. (prices are only for the machine heads, without wooden sound box)
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: 250 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 'Met Luxemechaniek'. The delivery time for this music box with its own melody is approximately 8 weeks.
It is possible to supply your own wood to make several music boxes. But it must meet a number of conditions, so that the wood is usable for me. In most cases, the price per box is the same as the prices in the webshop.
Conditions for supplying wood:
– FREE OF cracks and large knots (small knots allowed)
– DRY WOOD with a maximum of 15% moisture **
Send a message
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.
Unfortunately it is not possible to request a different melody.
This is because I only purchase from the supplier a few times a year, and have to purchase at least 100 pieces per melody, which is expensive.
You can buy a music box without a mechanism from me and put in the mechanism that you have bought yourself somewhere else through me or yourself. Please note that the model is identical, otherwise it will not fit.
To have a mechanism made with your own melody, see the question 'can I have my own melody made'
The difference is that a manual mechanism you have to turn 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 gold-colored. A manual mechanism has 18 tones.
A wind-up mechanism plays by itself for a few minutes. You just have to wind it up, the further you wind it the longer it plays. The winding key is at the bottom of the box, out of sight (except for Piccolo, who has it at the top). 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 notes 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 determine the melody, and every time a pin hits a tooth, a tone is heard.
The smallest and most sold mechanisms have 18 tones. (music box Piccolo, Lude, Celesta, Robin, Tamino) There are also larger machine heads with 30 (Tamino, Calandra) and 50 tones (Orpheus, = temporarily unavailable).
You can imagine that the more tones there are, the nicer 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 so is the sound.

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

All children in our family now have a Robin Wood music box. All made with wood from a place that carries a memory, engraved with a name and a personally selected music. Super beautiful and personal maternity gift. Everything is possible in consultation! Recommended!
Bought two this time because of twins, both with music from the Beatles, but a different song.
Beautiful music box for our grandson. His mother was touched by it: such a sweet little box made especially for him with a sweet sleep tune.
It gave her tears of happiness. Nice to give!
Very nicely made and very pleasant contact. Thanks Rob
We bought them for our two grandsons. They turned out beautiful again. Both boxes have been enthusiastically received. We have made it a tradition to give such a loving gift at every birth.
The music box is really very beautiful, and meets expectations.
A nice maternity gift for our grandson.
The melody is Vivaldi's Spring.
Chosen because our grandson was born in the spring.
Hout from Haarlem because our daughter was born there.
