This Whittemore-Durgin stained glass music box kit consists of a pattern, instructions, a music box movement, a turntable, mirror, and plenty of glass for you to complete the project. Copper foil and solder are not included. Also, for this project you will need a not-so-strong flux that is safe to use with mirrors, and some Super-Glue type of glue.
Our little soldier, who goes by the name Trevor, stand perpetually at attention, even while his mirrored platform rotates slowly to the tune of "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers". The melody, while not originally a Christmas song, has come to be associated with the holiday, as it tells a charming story of little wooden soldiers in the toy shop coming to life at the stroke of midnight.
We have two versions of the music box movement: the regular one (listen to it here), and a "tick-tock" version that emits a slight ticking sound in time with the music (listen to it here). We will by default include the regular one, but if you put "tick tock" in the Comment field when placing your order, we will instead include the "tick-tock" version.
