Description

 I don't know too much about this music box, but it was passed down to me.  I know it is from switzerland but I don't know too much else about it.

It is pretty big and made out of some kind of wood.  This is what it looks like when it is closed. (sitting on a trunk)

 

When you open the wood, there is a glass plate covering the box.

 

There is also a drawer in the bottom of it.

 

There are bells that are hit by butterflies, bees, and dragonflies

This plays the main music

There are two drums

This is in the corner

 

Here is a link to a video of the music player going:
