This is a wooden ball that plays music, even as it rolls around. I like the idea. (via productwiki.com)

music bomb, yes--but is it art?

This is cool. It rolls around and plays music. Love it!

The Music Orb is a wooden ball made from high quality oak formed into a perfect sphere. With the turn of the key, Mozart's "Voi Che Sapete", a song taken from one of Mozart's comedic opera's, The Marriage of Figaro. The song is played by an 18-note chime that resides inside the ball giving it a kind of hollow and haunting sound. The ball can actually roll around and still produce the music, making it an especially interesting piece.

This appealing round ball is actually a wooden music box. It would make a lovely family gift, especially for those with young children.

hmm - just weird or really cool?

Modern yet wonderfully old fashioned, this music orb is hand crafted out of smooth, beautiful oak wood in Germany. A large, removable silver key winds the chime housed inside, which plays "Voi Che Sapete" from Mozart. A little pricey for what it does, but what better way to show your love of design and music? Oh, and orb shaped objects that make sounds.

This hand crafted wooden sphere houses an 18 key chime that is forever enclosed inside, but a simple turn of the elegantly shaped key has it unleash its power and suddenly Voi, Che Sapete from Le Nozze Del Figaro (or The Marriage of Figaro) is being broadcast from inside the sphere, using the woods natural resonance enhancing characteristics.
