MMM continues to make the singing bird boxes with the same tools and techniques since 1990. The box is made of plated silver or alpaca silver (nickel silver).
The mechanism of this singing bird music box is all made by hand and is completely mechanical without any use of speakers or electronics. Comes with the wooden box case.
