Kikkerland Love Me Tender Crank Music Box, Silver

Overall is cute and good quality, but a little bit on the expensive range.

Originally purchased as part of a music box I was putting together, before settling on a spring-key configuration. However, this music box has been used far more often as she has taking to playing with it nearly every day.Can confirm that even after 500 uses, it is still keeping excellent pitch and playability.

Plays very nicely. Recognizable melody. Finished the gift off nicely.

I purchased this music box for my girlfriend as a valentine's day gift. Although the product arrived in excellent time, I found it bouncing around in a box far to large for it, and while it is rather small, no attempt was made to secure or protect it. Some inflated air packets were included, however they did not keep the item in place and therefore their effect was basically null. The product was, nevertheless, unharmed and in total working order.The music box itself is quite cute. Although I expected it to come in some sort of case, it is just a little bare-bones music box inside a cardboard package. I can see this working very well in a DIY music box project of some sort, although I have no such plans. Overall it seems reasonably well made and I didn't have any trouble with the hand crank mechanism. The little handle is very light and quite small, however, so don't expect to have a spot-on tempo when turning it.The musical arrangement is good and it does play through the full song. Although (obviously) the music box does not have quality resonance on its own, it amplifies quite well on a large wooden surface such as a piano. I have not tested it on glass, and so I cannot confirm whether or not it may rattle or vibrate on that surface. Again, however, it sounds excellent on wood.I would buy it again and additionally I would return to this seller if ever I did attempt a DIY music box project of some sort.

What's not to like about a music box mechanism?This little guy arrived and I didn't want to take it out of the factory packaged box that it came in! It looks great with a "classic" design and would make a great gift right there...BUT...In order for any music box mechanism to work correctly it needs to be mounted to a box, plank of wood, even a glass mirror, for it to be heard with full volume and tonal clarity. Example: A cigar box would be perfect if mounted or glued firmly. The volume and tonal difference when mounted is astounding!It has a plastic bottom piece that is attached with three small screws that can be removed if you want to use the holes to secure it to a wooden box or platform.If you are mounting this inside a box, keep in mind that the cranking lever does not remove, so you must compensate by drilling a hole in a location that will allow you to "fish it through" the hole or opening.The mechanism works freely and easily.The musical phrase is somewhat short, but plays "the hook melody line" to your favorite selection.CAUTION: I have not turned the crank handle in the opposite direction (as to play the melody backwards) and I do not intend to, though if you feel brave or reckless, we would appreciate your feedback as to how it operates when "played backwards."I found a large novelty wooden clothes pin and used crazy glue to mount it. What a terrific original little gift! The ideas are endless and quite affordable.I will be buying more of these for crafts and gifts!(I just wish they made the packaging more uglier! - lol.)

I am very pleased. I need to find a case for this also have a question about a songs. can you get anything with a taylor swift song?

I previously purchased one of these music boxes from a local art supply. The sound level is very good. I can barely hear the sound from the music box I got on Amazon! I'm seeing more and more of sellers dumping their low quality or defective merchandise on Amazon. I'm going back to shopping at local stores so that I can examine the items before making a purchase.

People ask you dumb questions at work? Make eye contact, silently pull out music maker, stare at them as you crank the handle without saying a word and wait for them to storm off like a little baby. Louder if you set it on something rather than just holding it in the air. A desktop computer tower works really well.

Adorei essa caixinha de música. Usei num projeto de autônomo e ficou incrível.

Joue parfaitement la mélodie de Led Zepplin

Llegó en tiempo y forma y en buenas condiciones. La melodía es muy linda, se la regale a alguien que es fan de los Beatles.Recomendable

Really sounds pretty, and fun to operate with the crank lever. Plays Amazing Grace theChristian classic hymn. Small little item, easy to store good for travel

Un petit cadeau subsidiaire pour l’anniversaire de ma petite dernière, elle était enchantée !Produit de très bonne facture.Attention, on a tendance à le tenir dans la main pour tourner la manivelle ce qui est un tort !Lorsqu’on le pose sur la table, l’intensité sonore s’en trouve démultipliée !
