Default Getting A Musical Box

First of all, I wanna apologise if I have post this thread in the wrong category...

Ya, back to the topic.

Since young, I've been fascinated with musical box. I've always yearn to collect them, but those that I've seen in bookshops etc. are just not appealing to me. Not to mention that they are pretty costly lol.

So till now... I have no musical box yet!!! >.<

Just wondering if anyone knows of any place that sells mainly musical box.

Thanks in advance!~ ^^

haha.. i like musical box too ~
i bought a really cute one from malaysia..
and i sort of disagree that it's hard to find in Singapore..
it's just that you don't take a closer look at them and dismiss them as normal wooden box/decorative item

there might be some shop selling only musical box, but i'm not too sure..
however, you can definitely find one in almost every gift shop

I once saw on TV about this shop in Japan that specialised in DIY musical box. You can get to design the box as well as choosing the tunes that you want.

*sighz! Hopefully there is such shop in nearby countries leh.

There are many types of musical boxes and some of them are truly exquisite works of art. Real collectors go for hand-made ones in various designs other than the normal square boxes.

I pointed to Chriz one musical box that is shaped like a violin - very detailed and expensive too in Yahoo Auction. Not all musical boxes have ballerinas or swans or whatever turning round and round accompanying the music when the box is opened. Many musical boxes just have music when you open the boxes.

I reckon once Chriz gets tired of opening and closing his musical box he'll be like the typical guy - dismantle the box and find out how it works. :biggrin4:

Yahoo Auction seems to be a nice place for me to get musical boxes lol. In fact I got 3 musical boxes from Yahoo Auction for $20 last week! Though not exactly what I want, but ya, overall I'm still pretty satisfied with the designs ba.

Wait till I ORD and start earning more money, then I'll buy more exquisite ones. =)
