Music box from Walnut from Maastricht (Westbroek)
This small music box has a cut out Redbreast 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.
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.
If necessary, the box can also be opened (it consists of two parts that clamp together). But you get the best sound when the box is closed.
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 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.

Open Atelier in Utrecht
Number of times a year there is an Open Atelier in Utrecht. The dates for 2020 are not yet known.
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.
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 40 seconds. So indicate with your application exactly which piece it is of a maximum of 40 seconds.
Costs: 120 euros. Only possible in combination with a music box for luxury mechanics. If interested, 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 Luxury Mechanics'
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)
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 on itself for a few minutes. You just have to wind it up, the further you wind up the longer it plays. The winding key is at the bottom of the box, out of sight. A windable mechanism is available in different versions. The smallest has 18 tones. Larger, more expensive mechanisms 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.
I do not yet know the text for engraving.
For example, if you want the box to be delivered quickly for a birth but you do not yet know the name and birth date, then you can best order the box (with engraving, enter: 'text will come later') due to delivery time / availability . As soon as you know the text for engraving, mail 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
We use the font 'Gabriola Regular' as standard. Subtle, elegant and with beautiful slim 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.

I gave this beautiful music box for a birthday. What I really liked is that there was also a nice handwritten card with a greeting to me. I find that personal attention very special. Yes the music box is a success, beautiful finish and clear sound. Especially that it is made from a tree from her hometown makes it very special.
In short, highly recommended to purchase such a unique music box.
