18th Century Black Forest Harp Clock or Hackbrettuhr
Here is a video of our Black Forest harp clock or Hackbrettuhr circa 1790.
The shield and lower panel have been removed exposing all the mechanics.
The clock plays 6 tunes on the hour on a stringed instrument.

It is really wonderful melody with harmony. This sounds like playing melody with harmony on piano. The music playing mechanism of this clock is miniatured player piano mechanism. Nowadays the hour strike on small dome shaped bell and melody with harmony played on stretched strings by miniatured player piano mechanism are all recorded and programmed in electronic circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker and installed in some quartz clocks so that they electronically imitates the same.
18世紀のこういう時計が好きなんです！これを作れるようになりたい！
I actually see that there are hammers hitting the sets of strings. It's actually set up more like a hammered dulcimer than anything else.
Awesome clock!
Great very rare
I have always wanted to build one of these and only dreamt of owning one, totally unaware that they were real. And sure enough they are! excellent musical piece of timekeeping art!
Fascinating! There's a longcase example at Gosford House, near Aberlady, East Lothian, about 15 miles east of Edinburgh, Scotland. That one has a carousel at the top of the case, behind glass, though the figurines are absent. The owner, the Earl of Wemyss, does not want it restored for that part.
What is name of the tune?
Que maravilha esses relogio.!
Could you post vids of the other 4 tunes?
Song is the same as Masha and Vitya musical mobile with projector!
AMAZING! Is this the same one that has been hanging in a corner in several videos, and that I had asked about ages ago? Or is this another one?
Que bello suena
How much is that clock
Unbelievable.
My Lord!
A dulcimer clock is also a correct description
Sound out of tune, can the strings be adjusted?
Yes, Hackbrett (say "huckbrett" with an almost French sounding "R") means a plank to cut little pieces of meat or vegetables on. It's the German word for a dulcimer, indeed! Greetings from Germany.
It kind of sounds like a banjo. A slightly out-of-tune banjo.
