Keeping Time With Musical Cuckoo Clocks
A Musical cuckoo clock is a two-in-one mechanism, with additional musical features besides the common cuckoo chirps. After playing its cuckoo tune at the hour, the clock also plays a melody, usually a German tune or internationally familiar song. Musical cuckoo clocks need to have more weights in order to pull the drum playing the additional song. The more complex models also have as a feature a dancing group of carpenters, children, animals or mascots. Although more elaborate and more expensive, the musical clocks may seem annoying every now and then – they do not have a freeze or cancel modern button to stop the tune if undesired at a particular time. Think well before investing in a musical clock, are you fully prepared to listen to the specific tune?
