Full Product Description

This classic 8 day musical German cuckoo clock offers wooden hands as well as a wooden dial together with Roman numerals, and also a warm light yellow-colored hand-painted as well as hand-carved cuckoo bird. This cuckoo clock case includes 5 hand-carved maple leaves and also 1 bird at the top of the roof.

This Musical Cuckoo Clock additionally plays music upon the hour switching in between 2 diverse melodies: Edelweiss together with The Happy Wanderer.

Three cast iron pine cone weight loads are hanging under the clock case by means of 3 distinct brass chains. The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum constantly swings back and forth which will control the exact timing of the clock. In the event that ones musical cuckoo clock's time will need to have a correction, one may control the speed of your clock simply by sliding the maple leaf upwards or downwards on the pendulum stick. Sliding the maple leaf straight down leads to the cuckoo clock  running slightly slower, while sliding the maple leaf upwards would make the cuckoo clock run a bit faster.

On each hour the cuckoo bird comes forth through a swinging door over the clock dial and then counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (For Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is declared using one cuckoo call. There is an audio shut-off mechanism underneath the bottom of the cuckoo clock. Pressing the lever up disables the cuckoo birds cuckoo as well as the music. Taking the lever straight down allows the cuckoo clock to play the music and cuckoo call.

The eight day all brass mechanised Regular motion, which is produced within the Black Forest of Germany, is wound one time for each eight days through raising the three pine cone weights. A single weight powers the time, one weight powers the music as well as the dancers, and the last weight powers the cuckoo bird and cuckoo call.

Review.

This is not the dearest but certainly not the cheapest Musical Cuckoo Clock. However it fearures traditional hand craftsmanship and mechanical movements at a reasonable price. It is generally reliable and makes a fine addition to any home.
