Here is link of music box playing. This is a very special sounding Reuge box made with gorgeous figured walnut case with unusual inlays incl brass metal letters F C and line inlay and a handsome brass piano on a mother of pearl sheet music cartouche on lid. This music box #128/999 in a limited edition. I’ve had many beautiful Reuge boxes but as for the 5 interchangeable cylinder boxes playing 50 notes, I feel this was one of their finest sounding pieces, so I kept it for my personal collection. I was a dealer in Reuge music boxes for many years. Im downsizing and moving, so I decided I need to part with some of my music boxes. This box is in excellent condition and plays perfectly. 16″ x 8″ x 5. The name of the tunes are inscribed on a brass tune sheet plaque on the lid. Cylinder 1: Mazurka Op 7 No 1. Cylinder 2: Tristesse Op 10 No 3. Cylinder 3: Polonaisse Op 53. Cylinder 4: Grande Valse Brilliante Op 34 No 1. Cylinder 5: Nocturne Op 9 No 2.

The box has a natural finish with golden musical notes on the lid, the signature of Frederic Chopin on front rim, and a wind up key on the bottom which is also marked Reuge. Gold button on front turns music off and on. There is clear glass over the music mechanism which is also marked Reuge. The wood is tongue and groove, lid fits tight. The music is beautiful – almost deep in tone. It’s in good visual condition with one CALL OUT – it looks as if the paper on inside lid may be parting from the wood on upper left corner – please view photos. Paper is not torn or wrinkled. It does come in its original box as shown in photos but no papers. Please view all photos. Offers are always welcome.
