    Default Music box mech with ballerina type shaft

    Hi Guys and Girls
    My other half wants to make some ceramic music boxes and she is looking for a music box
    mech locally if possible that has the stem/shaft for a ballerina or in this case a flower.
    Had a look at a few of the regular box making supplies but couldn't see any.

    Ah music boxes -- that's a huge can of worms

    mechanisms range from something like 8 or 16 notes up to 144 or more notes. Prices reach into the high hundreds or low thousands
    then there's the tune

    in all probability you will have to go offshore
    google returned http://www.nationalartcraft.com/group3.htm among others. I haven't used them.
    regards from Alberta, Canada

    Hi,
    The clock suppliers are a better bet Australian Woodsmith give Jonathon Knowles Clock Company. jknowles.com.au for the box in the current issue.
    Regards
    Hugh

    Enough is enough, more than enough is too much.

    Try Cuckoo Corner at Berry. They had a good selection of mechanisms last time I looked in.
