Super fast production time and communication was quick and responsive as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The music box itself is beautiful and sounds just like the sample recording, couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

A great service. Nice arrangement of music with effective simplification for music box. The best bit was after sales. I removed the cylinder and comb to make an adjustment to avoid sending to the other side of the world for what I thought to be a minor DIY job. Then, of course…..twang! Lost the spring tension. Many companies would wash their hand of it then saying, this voids the warranty, but Pongkul guided me through the repair with videos which for me is great because I learnt in the process!
Great company to deal with.

Absolutely perfect! They were very patient, and the feature to make changes using the music note arrangement sheet really helped. It sounds exactly as I hope it would!

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.
