Collection: Music Book Nook

Music book nooks are wooden DIY kits where music is at the heart of the scene. Some kits include a music box that plays a melody. Others recreate a place for music: a violin maker's workshop, an opera house or a recording studio. The pre-cut, pre-painted wooden pieces slot together without glue, and built-in LEDs light up the scene at night.

In this collection, you'll find music box kits like Christmas Shop, a Christmas store that plays a tune, Christmas Wonderland, Beast and Beauty, Time Magic Club and Owl Post Office. You'll also find music scenes: the violin workshop of Bach Strings, the studio of The Secret Rhythm, the music bookshop of Memories Music Bookshop, the animal concert of Flower Forest Concert and the opera house of Phantom of the Opera. The details come from a musician's world: violins, sheet music, records, pianos and stage curtains.

A music book nook takes a few hours to build, solo or with a friend, using the illustrated manual. Once it's done, it fits between two books, sits on a desk or goes next to an instrument. It makes a great gift for a musician, a music lover or anyone who likes objects that come to life. All our kits are CE certified and recommended for ages 14 and up.

FAQ about Music Book Nook

Which music book nook is the easiest to build?

The easiest is the Memories Music Bookshop book nook, a music bookshop with 136 pieces that takes about two hours, even for a first 3D wooden puzzle. Phantom of the Opera (186 pieces), Christmas Wonderland (200 pieces), Christmas Shop (264 pieces), Flower Forest Concert (272 pieces), Bach Strings (285 pieces) and The Secret Rhythm (350 pieces) are intermediate builds: plan on three to five hours.

The difficult ones, Beast and Beauty, Dreamland Theater, Mechanical Rhythm, Time Magic Club, The Lantern of Galaxy, Gift Factory and Owl Post Office, have 286 to 462 pieces. Music box models take a little care when you install the mechanism.

Which music book nooks actually play a melody?

Kits with a music box say so on their product page, with details on the mechanism. Christmas Shop, Christmas Wonderland, Beast and Beauty, Time Magic Club and Owl Post Office include a music module: the scene lights up and plays a tune. Mechanical Rhythm and Dreamland Theater have one too.

Other book nooks in the collection are about music without a sound module: the violin workshop of Bach Strings, the recording studio of The Secret Rhythm, the bookshop of Memories Music Bookshop and the concert of Flower Forest Concert. They light up and show tiny instruments and sheet music, but they don't play music.

What are the best music book nooks to build?

Among our best-selling music book nooks, you'll find The Secret Rhythm, Owl Post Office and Time Magic Club.

The Secret Rhythm is a music studio on two floors, with two guitars on the wall, a gramophone with a brass horn and a vintage radio: 350 pieces, intermediate level, about 5 hours. Owl Post Office is run by owls: one sorts the mail, one writes with a quill and one takes off for his round: 462 pieces, difficult level, about 6 hours. Time Magic Club is a magician's shop at the foot of a small watchtower, with a crystal ball, potion vials and a black cat by the door: 365 pieces, difficult level, about 5 hours.

How does the music box in a book nook work?

The mechanism is a small module included in the kit. You attach it in the base or at the back of the scene while you build, following the manual. Depending on the model, you wind it by hand or start it with a button, and it plays a melody while the scene is lit. The product page of each kit explains the mechanism and how it's powered. The LEDs run on two AAA batteries, not included.

Installing the module takes a little care: put it in place before you close the box, and check that it plays before adding the last pieces.
