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

Description

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.

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.

Despite this lovely wooden ball having no other purpose than to play "Voi Che Sapete," from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, I'm just drawn to it's simple beauty.

"With a turn of the elegantly shaped key, "Voi Che Sapete," from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, emanates from inside of this wooden ball. The 18-note chime plays whether it is rolling across the floor or decoratively resting on its small metal ring. It is made of premium quality oak wood that has been fashioned into a perfect sphere by village craftsmen on the edge of Germany's Black Forest." -momastore.org
