Musical Boxes

Around 1796 Antoine Favre a clockmaker from Geneva, was the first to use a comb of metal fingers pre tuned to give metallic notes, and so the mechanical music box was born.
In 1811 the first music boxes were produced in Sainte-Croix Switzerland, an area which was famous for watch making and lace industries, and it was not long before the town became renowned for music box manufacture.
Charles Reuge, a watchmaker settled in Sainte-Croix in 1865 and began making pocket watches with musical movements. The name of Reuge was to become famous as a manufacturer of wooden inlaid music boxes and the luxury end of the music box market.
The music box movement that is fitted into our inlaid wooden boxes today is a direct descendent of the original musical movement, it uses all the same basic principles.
So why not give a very traditional gift that will surely become a collector's item or heirloom which can be passed down the family a music box for future generations to enjoy.

Cylinder Music Boxes

Our music box range includes a selection of traditional cylinder music boxes in various size movements, ranging from small single tune 18 note musical movements similar to the ones used in jewellery boxes to the beautiful tones of the Reuge 72 note three tune or the 50 note three tune Jobin music box. As the movement / musical note size increases, so does the size of the cylinder giving a better quality of musical performance, with a larger cylinder the circumference is increased so the tune will be able to play for longer so giving more pleasure to the listener from the musical box. With larger comb size the musical rendition is enhanced to give a truly deeper bass and scope of tone. These large cylinder music boxes make a perfect present for the classical music fan a gift which can be truly treasured and passed on to future generations to enjoy.
