It's safe to say that no one would think that the MusicMachine from Reuge and MB&F is a music player, at least not at first glance. This clever music device is disguised as a spaceship and plays extracts from six popular songs in 35-second intervals. Songs that the MusicMachine plays include the Star Wars theme song and 'Smoke on the Water' by Deep Purple.
Each piece of the MusicMachine from Reuge and MB&F is actually a cleverly disguised component of a music box. The propellers are actually mechanical winders and each cylinder contains three of the six tracks. Only 66 MusicMachines are to be made, 33 in white and 33 in black, with no pricing yet announced.
