Music Box Attic is going GREEN!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

We have just been informed that Music Box Attic will be now using recycled/biodegradable packing supplies!

The cardboard boxes that your Music Box is shipped in, can be recycled so remember when tossing them into the trash can, make sure it’s your blue one! They can also be re-used as storage boxes, gift boxes, or to send packages again.

Our peanuts, (the foams pieces surrounding your Musical Jewelry Box) are completely biodegradable! They are made of cornstarch which means they will simply melt away when wet. (Please do not eat, and KEEP AWAY from children.) They are safer for the environment, but not meant for consumption.

Now you can feel even better gift giving using the services from Music Box Attic!
Help Music Box Attic keep the world a safer, and cleaner to place to live!

Sincerely,
The Green Team at Music Box Attic

Anticipating the Holiday Season

Even though the Music Box Attic headquarters is located in sunny Los Angeles, CA, we are already beginning to anticipate the Christmas/Holiday season. After years of involvement in the company, it is a time of year that we all wholeheartedly look forward to.

This time of year is when the company turns into more than a gathering of employees. We turn into a united family. As the days pass we spend more and more hours together, working hard to make sure every order makes it to you on time. Hoping that every Music Box, Water Globe and Musical Figurine makes this the Holiday/Christmas season you’ve always dreamed of.

With an uproar of phone calls, e-mails and requests, Music Box Attic is welcoming and eager to aid you in an unforgettable gift giving season for you and your family. The hard working team of Music Box Attic is opening it’s arms to any and all questions you have!

Different Music Boxes, Different Notes, Note sizes for music boxes

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Every day, probably 10 to 15 times a day we get the question about all kinds of music boxes that deal with the size of the movement. Can this music box fit this size movement, can this music box fit that size movement, it is the most common question, by far, in the music box world. There are many note sizes that are produced and Music Box Attic carries every single one of them. You can get music boxes that have installed in them an 18 note musical movement, a 22 note, a 30 note, a 36 note, a 50 note, a 72 note, a 78 note, a 144 note and even a 156 note musical movement. In most cases and most customers the note size does not go above 36 notes, the 36 note musical movement is the cream of the crop from all of the smaller movements, so between 18 and 36, there is 22 and 30, the 36 is the best for your music box.

We highly recommend the 30 note movements, they are much less then most 36 note boxes, they sound great, play for a long time, the 30 note music box movement is a remarkable upgrade on the boxes that have that ability. The 22 note movement is a Swiss musical movement, it sounds great, plays smoothly and is made by Reuge/Romance, so it is a brand name like the 36 note, so that is where the 30 note comes into play, it is made in Japan which is still very good in quality but the price on it is much less, so the 22 and the 30 are comparable whereas the 36 is much more, but it is amazing, it sounds remarkable and is a brand name, you can’t get them just like that, they are hard to get and more scarce, so you are paying for what you get, and get what you pay for.
