Pretty Realistic Birdsong From A Vintage Music Box From 1890




I know her well from my childhood: music boxes, also like a 2-in-1 package - music box and cookie jar in one. As long as the crank is cranked, a familiar melody sounds. However, the following somewhat dated piece surprises with a much more complicated snapping pattern for a surprisingly realistic sound. Lovingly restored by The House of Automata , the colorful mix of cogwheels, springs and a kind of accordion brings out crystal-clear birdsong that makes you think you're in the garden. The mechanical songbird is from the 1890s. However, with this vocal talent, the part could easily come back into fashion, especially in the big city, where we can use a bit more blackbird thrush-finch-and-star flair.
