Wendt & Kühn 'Music Box - I Am the Bird Catcher - 21cm' 2025

Music box "Starkasten" with two children, with 18-voice music and the melody "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja".

History:

With the reissue of the music box, a small music box returns to the range after many years, whose figures are actually "in motion". In countless hours of tinkering, it has been possible to accommodate not only a musical mechanism in the box body in the smallest of spaces, but also a gearbox that rotates the turntable. Grete Wendt designed the music box before 1934. Even then, it was a high level of craftsmanship to paint the distinctive diamond pattern on the body of the can. And even today, it still requires great skill to paint on the 48 yellow rhomboids and the 96 green triangles.
