Moscow Landmark Rotating Music Box
Onion domes that turn while the tune plays.
$29.99
The landmark is the easy part to recognize; the turning is what makes it worth watching. While the tune runs, the towers rotate, so the scene keeps offering a different face instead of standing still like an ornament.
Rotation changes how you assemble. Everything above the base has to sit true, because anything off-center announces itself the instant it starts to move. Test the motion as you go rather than saving it for the end.
- For travelers who have stood in front of the real thing.
- For builders who like a mechanism hiding under the scenery.
- On a desk, where movement catches the eye of anyone passing.
- Illustrated English assembly guide
- Spare parts sheet included
- Recommended for ages 14+
Who this one is for
For someone who wants the mechanism to be visible as well as audible. The towers turn while the tune plays, so there is something to watch, not only something to hear.
Choosing between the Music Box kits
The Snow Mountain Train is the same price at $29.99 and also animated. Take the train if you want a landscape; take this if you want architecture.
