I’ve seen boxes like this made in Sorrento in Italy. Marquetry is a very big part of the culture there as are music boxes. Sadly most of the ones that you see in the tourist shops play “The Sorrento Song” a lovely bit of music but somewhat spoiled by it’s use in the 50’s (or 60’s) pop song “Dream Boy”.
I know that you will do this with your own flair and patiently await it’s unveiling.
Thank you for letting us watch.

Wow, Dennis, this is superb! We can’t wait until we get to see your work on this. We’re certain it will be outstanding as is all of your design and craftsmanship.

Just a funny note (no pun intended): As we were scrolling down looking at the pictures, we noticed that you had seven lines on the music. Then we got to the next picture and saw that it was the outside lines of the scroll, and only five lines on the music staff! (So you do know music, too!)

Pretty! An inspiration. I’ll be checking up on this one.

Dennis: A great looking box. What an interesting project.

The design looks fantastic, but your completed project should be spectacular.
