Question
can not find a music movement for a black forest cuckoo clock. It is a 23 note blaue donau wood chopper with a water wheel
Hi Kenneth,
The most complete source of cuckoo movements that I know of is Black Forest Imports (www.blackforestimports.com). The music movement will be separate from the clock movement, and particular melodies are not always available. Complicated cuckoos like the wood chopper also have various shafts, pulleys and wires that are not included with the basic movement.
