Description
Music box 'Merel Elegante' with an 30 or 36 tone mechanism.
This music box is 2 cm deeper (wider) than Tamino Elegante, this gives the mechanism more space, which also benefits the sound.
On the pictures you see an example box of this model that is specially made for you. You can choose wood type and melody yourself. In the example photo a Redbreast can be seen on a twig. It is the intention that this becomes a Blackbird on a twig!
This mechanism is of very good quality and has 30 or 36 tones and a very refined sound. It plays approximately 7 minutes when it is fully wound at the bottom (see photo).
You can also choose for the extra option 'automatic play', then the melody starts as soon as the lid is opened and stops at closing, however you will miss the warm sound with the lid closed, many people like this.
The music box has round corners on all sides. The horizontal sides of the lid are also rounded. All undersides have round bows, this makes the box extra elegant. The piping in a contrasting color wood is a subtle detail and gives it extra class.
A very special gift for example for a birth, a wedding or birthday or any other reason to give your loved one something very special and personal gift! It is a box made for a lifetime!
It is carefully handmade and finished with natural oil. At the bottom the box is 'signed' by the maker with tree name / location, month / year in which it is made and unique chronological number.
Will be packed in a suitable box with a card (NL / ENG)
Each box is unique and is made with a lot of attention and passion! Extra special is that we only use local wood and know the exact origin of every piece of wood! So no 'anonymous' wood but sustainable wood full of stories!
Below is a video recording of this model music box. Made from maple root wood, Utrecht (Schimmelplein). In this case with a Swiss mechanism from Reuge with Die Zauberflote from Mozart.

Wood species
Basic types of wood:
Exclusive woods:
Wood from some trees is exclusive and slightly more expensive for various reasons. This is due to a very small stock, hard-to-process wood or expensive wood price.
Wood species per city.
Note that each box is unique, even if it is made from the same tree. Every piece of wood is different. Color and drawing of the box that you finally receive can therefore differ from the examples on the photos, but these do give a reasonably good impression.

Engraving examples
Below some photo examples for engravings. There are two options:
1. Own text (most chosen) 15 euro.
The layout of the given 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 up) We use standard 'Gabriola Regular' as a font. The text is engraved exactly as you have specified (except for long sentences, which can be divided into 2 rules). So if you want a date, for example, enter: 2 January 2019 instead of 02-01-2019.
2. Inspiring texts and images (from 10 euro):
Previously engraved texts with a universal character. The photos are an example, the letter size depends on the chosen surface and box. The number of lines is also adjusted to the format. Eg: a rectangular box has more space for longer lines than a square box. Only the poems by Marie Louise Rene have the same engraved on each box (as in photos)

Other sales points
There are also a number of sales places in the Netherlands where you can buy the music boxes. They usually have a limited stock of mostly small music boxes. Click here for an overview of these sales spots.
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: 219 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.
Trees card
These are all trees from which music boxes were once made. There is therefore no more wood stock from many trees.
