Musical Specialties

The Musical Box Doctor is FABULOUS!
I bought a really beat up and non functioning music box at Rose Bowl flee market. It was in need of a new set of teeth so to speak. Tony went WAY beyond the normal service to make sure my dream came true, having this box play two of my favorite Church hymns.
I got it back and was so grateful at how beautifully restored it was and playing my hymns.
Tony you are the best I will always be grateful to you for going beyond the limit to help me.

I received a music box that is a replica of a Baldwin Upright Piano (Cint., OH) which had been made for my Mom in 1942. It is the very first thing I can remember as a small child and of course, was not allowed touch! Over the years, I have seen that music box many times and it always bought me back to my childhood years. Upon the passing of my mother, I inherited the music box — it was really the only thing I wanted but it was in very poor condition. I called several ‘music box’ specialists and never heard back from anyone, except Tony! I told him the story of this WWII gift and how much it would mean to me for him to have a look. He was so very kind and was truly interested in the story behind the music box (really a love story!). So, I sent it to him and we spoke a couple of times before he sent it back. It is absolutely breath taking for me to see this piece restored to the condition in which I remembered! Tony was so incrediably attentive in re creating what I had remembered so long ago. I just can’t say enough about the work Tony did and how sweet he was to me along the way… would recommend him to anyone and would trust him with any other sentimental pieces — mine was certainly in loving hands. So, thanks Tony, so much. My piano mucic box sits in a very prominent place in my house where of course, my grandchildren ‘cannot touch’! All the best, Nancy

Tony cleaned and repaired an old vintage music box compact that had belonged to my mother when she was a girl and he really did a lovely job. The music box part works perfectly and it looks brand new and gorgeous now. I live in Los Angeles, and he simply had me mail it to him and he mailed it back when it was ready. Easy peasy. He’s a real find.
(By the way, he had me mail it to Suite A, not G, so the business info probably needs an edit.)

Have a music box or musical antique piece that you’ve been wanting to fix? Tony Ciuffini’s Musical Specialties is THE appropriate place for you to do so. Honest individuals and honest appraisals/​evaluation of your item. I had a near 100 year-​old musical revolving Christmas Tree Stand that had been neglected for many years. The owner and his assistant discovered that my piece had not 2 songs that I had heard as a child but 4 — hence, two music boxes were uncovered in the innards, thoroughly cleaned, and the exterior restored beautifully. Prompt return of my phone calls and the utmost of pride in their work.
Restoration of antique music boxes since 1976 and repair of modern disk and cylinder music boxes since 1984 with all personnel trained at the Reuge factory in Switzerland.
