Walnut Photo Music Box
Walnut, one tune, and a photograph you choose.
$32.99
Two things share this object: a photograph has a place in it, and a tune plays while it is open. Walnut keeps both understated — dark grain, few distractions, nothing competing with the picture itself.
The work is mostly in the fitting. Panels should close cleanly and the moving side wants a light touch, so it suits someone who would rather do a small thing properly than a large thing quickly. What results is a gift that already carries its own message.
- For a present with a picture already in mind.
- For someone who prefers to hand over a made object rather than a bought one.
- On a dresser, closed and quiet, doing very little until it is opened.
- Illustrated English assembly guide
- Spare parts sheet included
- Recommended for ages 14+
Who this one is for
The one to choose if this is going to be a gift with a photograph in it. It is the only box here built around a picture, and the walnut keeps attention on that rather than on the woodwork.
Choosing between the Music Box kits
At $32.99 it is the most expensive music box we sell, and the difference is in the timber and the photo mount. For a purely mechanical build, the Moscow Landmark ($29.99) gives you more movement for less.
