About Us

Together with the musical box, the vivid narrating of fairy stories, old tales and the Nativity to the accompaniment of pleasant melodies has lost nothing of its fascination. Especially at Christmas time, something of the magic of childhood memories, reawaken upon seeing the moving scenes.

Music Boxes, the boxes themselves handmade by German craftsmen and Women. The skillfulness of the wood turner and the sure-handed artwork, along with the beautiful tone, bringing the Music Boxes to life.

At first, the musical box was nothing more than a simple toy, a box which, by means of turning a handle could be made to revolve and play a tinkly tune. The melody accompanying the little turning figures of people and animals then still sounded rather dull and lifeless. It was not until around 1930 that the first musical boxes were created.
