Musical Box Repair & Restoration.
Preserving mechanical music with traditional workshop skill. From Swiss cylinder musical boxes to disc-playing musical boxes, our restoration work is carried out by hand in our Barnet workshop, serving collectors throughout London and the UK.
Antique musical boxes require specialist care.
Many musical boxes are over 100 years old and rely on delicate mechanical components. Incorrect repair can permanently affect sound quality, value and originality. Our workshop focuses on careful, sympathetic restoration wherever possible.
