New Musical Bird Box from Germany
By Philip Brady

My name is Philip Brady.  I have been an MBSI member for about 6 years.
My interest in clocks and music boxes is growing to also include bird
boxes.

I understand there is a company in Germany currently making new bird
boxes, but that, unfortunately, is all I know.  It is not Reuge.  I would
appreciate any information you might have as I would like to buy a bird
box, and I was told that these new boxes can be had much more reasonably
than the antiques.  That suits me fine -- I simply want a bird box.
Thank you very much!

 [ Welcome to MMD, Philip, and you're in luck!.  A few years ago
 [ Siegfried Wendel purchased the tooling and the "goodwill", and now
 [ he produces the Black Forest bird boxes at the Mechanical Musicboxes
 [ Manufactury in beautiful Rudesheim am Rhein in Germany.  Even better,
 [ Siegfried's son, Joerg Wendel, is a member of MMD, and I hope he will
 [ tell us the history of these cute instruments.  Bist Du da, Joerg?  ;)
