Musical Cuckoo Clock

Here is a musical cuckoo clock that looks like an old German Hofbräuhaus (beer house). The two guys on the barrels raise their beers every hour, as the clock cuckoos, chimes and plays music.

The door where the little beer mug pops out needs to be adjusted to stay closed, but still a fun clock.

Musical cuckoo clocks frequently have other automatisms which move when the music box plays. Today's cuckoo clocks are almost always weight driven, a very few are spring driven. The weights are made of cast iron in a pine cone shape and the "cuc-koo" sound is created by two tiny gedackt (pipes) in the clock, with bellows attached to their bottoms. The clock's mechanism activates the bellows to send a puff of air into each pipe alternately when the clock strikes.
