For the Music Lover

Inlays were an incredibly popular design in the early days of music boxes. Hand-carved with wood and other precious materials, each box has multiple pieces on the lid that create a smooth, seamless pattern – as if the design was painted on! For our inlaid instrument-inspired music boxes, we offer a selection of inlay designs that explore some of the more popular musical instruments. You can expect to find guitars, violins, horns, mandolins, and more nesting among inlaid flowers and vines for stunning examples of traditional Sorrento music boxes! Explore our selection today to find the instrument that you or your loved ones play.

Our Selection

While music boxes are a bit of a niche art, we still strive to provide a vast selection that appeals to nearly everyone. No matter what type of instrument speaks to you or which color and design combination matches your aesthetic, we’re confident you’ll find an instrument music box to love in our selection. Browse boxes that are perfect for your home or shop gifts for loved ones to commemorate special occasions, like holidays, birthdays, and weddings!

Choosing Your Melody

At Music Box Attic, we’re excited about the technological improvements in our field. While we’ll always have a place in our hearts for traditional movements, modern music modules offer more variety and selection for our customers. If you prefer modern music modules with additional songs, upgrade to a music box custom tune module for an opportunity to create a multi-song medley. Look for the custom tune options on the product pages to determine if you can modify this box with a custom tune module.

For any questions or concerns regarding the musical selection, please reach out to us today for additional guidance!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace the music in these instrument-themed music boxes?

Our collection has two types of music boxes: digital and mechanical. With our mechanical music boxes, you can customize your song from a large list of available music, but you won’t be able to change the song on your own. However, with our digital music boxes, you can use a custom tune module connection to swap out an entire playlist.

How many years will a music box last?

Music boxes from Music Box Attic are high-quality pieces designed to last for decades. They’re heirlooms that you can pass down for generations! However, if you find yourself playing your music box frequently, you can service it with a little help from our troubleshooting tips. If you have any other questions about servicing your music box, please reach out to us for personalized guidance.

How long will a music box play for?

The length of time your instrument-themed music box plays before you need to wind it will depend on the note size of the mechanical configuration.

  • An 18-note box will play for 2-3 minutes.
  • A 23-note box will play for 4-5 minutes.
  • A 30-note box will play for 6-7 minutes.
  • A 50-note box will play for 12-13 minutes.
  • A 72-note box will play for 18-20 minutes.

Digital music boxes will play as much music as you can store on 100 MB — around 15-20 mp3 songs.

Is it possible to overwind a music box?

It is possible to overwind a music box, typically causing the main spring to fail. When the main spring fails, your music box will jam. Our troubleshooting page and how-to videos should be able to guide you through any issues with your music box. Remember that you can always reach out to our customer service team, who are beyond happy to assist you with any repair questions or customer service requests.
