Containing 50 organ pipes: three stops, one for each of the three ranks of pipes. The paper “tune card” glued on a bass pipe lists the maker’s name and town on the last two lines (see photo).

A bird in each of the tree tops opens and closes its beak. The center figure turns his head with the music, while a bird in each hand, as well as the bird on top of his turban moves their beaks. As the music concludes, the musicians slowly lower their instruments. These clocks could be left as-is with no cabinet. This clock has an iron hoop on the back to suspend it from the wall.
