Gloggomobil

Designed by Herbert Bahli in 1983 for Naef Toys, Switzerland, the Gloggomobil is probably the most stunning and educational music toy ever created. Your child can create his or her own music by moving the studs on the barrel. Using the principal of the barrel-organ, when the studs on the barrel are struck, melodies are created and carried through a mechanism much like the Glockenspiel. The Gloggomobil is made entirely by hand by Swiss craftsmen who spend several days making one of these.

Music Orb

This classically beautiful oak Music Orb crafted by village craftsman on the edge of Germany's Black Forest plays the "Voi Che Sapete" from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (I only need to figure out which song that is). It has 18 chimes and I'd imagine makes a soothing lullaby for a baby to drift off to sleep.
