This hand-carved and hand-painted curiosity is a guaranteed conversation piece. Tiny bellows push air through an automated slide whistle which produces the complex little tune. While whistling, the man moves his head from side to side.

These pieces are truly fascinating. Housed inside the body is a tiny mechanical mechanism with bellows and a multi-pitch whistle that plays a tune on demand. The mechanism is made by hand in Germany and is completely mechanical without any use of speakers or electronics. These are mechanical-musical instruments.

The clocks is also completely mechanical and completely functional. The pendulum moves from side to side.

The melody is intricate, complete with vibrato, melismatic lines, and precise articulation.

This is a very special piece. Availability is limited.
