Reuge Music - Music box - Switzerland - 1970-1980

A beautiful Swiss mechanical music box by Reuge Music, fitted with the highly regarded CH 3/72 72-note movement and playing Pachelbel’s Canon. The original label on the underside identifies the movement as CH 3/72, with reference 37244, and specifically names “Canon – J. Pachelbel.” The 37244 movement reference corresponds to the three-part Canon arrangement for Reuge’s 72-note mechanism. The 72-note movement represents one of Reuge’s larger traditional mechanical formats, producing a fuller and more sophisticated musical range than smaller music-box mechanisms. Reuge’s current CH 3/72 movements likewise use a 72-note comb and are crafted and assembled in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, the historic centre of Swiss music-box production. The music box is housed in a substantial wooden case with a rich reddish-brown finish, complemented by brass fittings, feet and mechanical components. The underside retains several original labels and markings, including the Reuge/Suisse identification, movement information and case number 103-752. Musical work: Canon in D – J. Pachelbel Three-part arrangement for the Reuge 72-note movement. Manufacturer: Reuge Music Place of manufacture: Sainte-Croix, Switzerland Movement: CH 3/72 Comb: 72 notes Movement reference: 37244 Composer: Johann Pachelbel Melody: Canon Case: Wooden case with brass fittings Weight: 1,474 g Dimensions: 21 × 7.3 × 12.3 cm A particularly attractive example for collectors of Swiss mechanical music boxes, Reuge movements and fine musical antiques.
