Around 1980 that original company went bankrupt and was purchased by a German collector and mechanical music enthusiast.  For about twenty years, the Griesbaum designs, assets, tools, research and know how were carefully housed in a benevolent museum in Germany.  A few years ago the owner of these assets decided to pick up where the Griesbaum left off and revived the business. Each of these birds is carefully manufactured and assembled according to exacting standards.  Each comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty. The mechanism is as loud and strong as in the best years of Griesbaum. The melody is intricate, complete with vibrato, melismatic lines, and precise articulation. \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-04-18T23:23:15-05:00","created_at":"2018-04-08T18:18:13-05:00","vendor":"MMM","type":"music box","tags":["NCI"],"price":436800,"price_min":436800,"price_max":436800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":546000,"compare_at_price_min":546000,"compare_at_price_max":546000,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":8111319154791,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"MU 214 201 00","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"MMM Bird in A Box MU 214 201 00, Gold Etched, Exquisite and Rare Music Box with Automated Bird","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":436800,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":546000,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":""}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/products\/MMM_Bird_in_Box_MU_214_201_00.jpg?v=1524112009","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/products\/MMM_Bird_in_Box_MU_214_201_00_3f7aa067-53d9-4722-86f7-88d2faae78cc.jpg?v=1524112009","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/products\/birds-min.jpg?v=1524112034","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/products\/MechanicalBird_in_A_Box_1_-min.jpg?v=1524112054"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/products\/MMM_Bird_in_Box_MU_214_201_00.jpg?v=1524112009","options":["Title"],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 4″ x 2″ x 3″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-year manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurely Mechanical Music Box with mechanical singing musical bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShut-off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast order processing and FREE ground shipping in the contiguous United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: inline !important;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e MMM Bird in A Box MU  214 201 00, Gold Etched Music Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a hand-made\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecuriosity and a guaranteed conversation piece.
