It has plenty of signs of age and wear to it as one might expect from something which has basically been hit repeatedly (!). One section of damage has been repaired to make it safe and structurally sound - please see photos. The xylophone has retained its tuning and although the felt dampers would benefit from renovation, it plays effectively in its current state.

The beaters are provided as an accompaniament - they also show significant signs of age and use, and are a good match for the xylophone. They have rubber ends and although not entirely straight (!) they perform adequately and look the part too.

The xylophone measures 48cm in length, 23cm at its widest, 12cm at its narrowest and is 3.5cm in height. It would easy enough to add hanging furniture to it if preferred.

]]> Musical wooden bottle pourer https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/musical-wooden-bottle-pourer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=musical-wooden-bottle-pourer Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:27:04 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=459 This quirky bottle pourer features a wind up mechanism which causes music to play when you tip it. It's of wood construction with carved detailing and flower patterns on both sides. The music is the French song "Boire un petit coup" ("Have a little drink!") which is a jaunty little tune we must say (look it up on YouTube!).

The pourer body is made of wood with metal elements and measures approximately 10cm / 4.5" (widest part) x 3cm / 1.25" (depth) x 17cm / 6.5" (length).  The wood is in reasonable shape, but the cork has seen better days and would probably need replacing if it's to be used as an actual pourer.  A novelty item perhaps, but a rather charming one!
