Hi Skip, My guess is that your original inquiry was for a single small
musical mechanism? Perhaps, as Robbie speculated, you are/were looking
for the tune "Diamonds for Stones"?
Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, that tune has not been made
by any of the current musical mechanism makers in Switzerland, Japan,
or China. It could be made, but in most cases, the process is quite
expensive and the musical mechanism makers require large minimum
quantities be ordered at one time. If a custom unit is what you seek,
check with Margaret Marcus at the Music Box Shop in Phoenix, Arizona:
<info-orders@themusicboxshop.com.geentroep> [delete ".geentroep" to
reply]. I believe she has a Swiss maker who will make a custom tune
in small quantities but I know nothing of the process or the cost.
If you are searching for a single mechanism to use in a music box
or other project, many other tunes are available and I'm sure that I,
Tony Ciuffini, or National Artcraft can assist to you, but we'll all
need to know more about what you are trying to achieve so that we may
assist you in selecting an appropriate tune, mechanism size, and or
winding configuration. Please call me to discuss your particular
requirements and needs.
Most sincerely,
