This is one of the most incredible finds — The song was absolutely perfect and edited to make a clean, continuous loop. The piece itself is beautiful, works very well, and I plan to order many more. I wish they had larger or longer ones available. Truly happy with this purchase.

The mechanism I received was perfect, right down to the very last note. My sincere compliments to the artisan who created this masterpiece. I purchased it as a commission for a custom-made music box, but I am keeping this one for my own personal Box of Secrets, My client will just have to deal with the cheap junk from Amazon.
