While a jewellery box kit is just one application of the music box movements listed here, there are many other
applications, particularly in children's toys, which can be fun to make, and even more fun for kids. A shut-off
lever is available as an optional extra, which can be fitted to the movement. When the lever is used, the plastic
|
cover must be permanently removed - we also recommend removal of the wooden base, which is shipped attached
to the movement. This permits the movement to be bolted directly onto the bottom of the case, for a much improved
sound.
