This Beautiful (and Super Expensive!) Music Box Looks Like a Tie Fighter [Video]

At $18,000, this has to be the most beautiful (and expensive!) music box I’ve ever seen.

MusicMachine 3 is inspired by Star Wars’ legendary imperial TIE fighters. These lattice-like vertical wings support and protect the dual music cylinders, each playing three melodies: the theme tunes from Star Wars, Mission Impossible, and James Bond on the right and The Godfather, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, and The Persuaders on the left. The music is powered by two independent movements mounted on the two tail sections. The side wings play a vital role in propagating sound vibrations down from the combs to the naturally amplifying resonant base, manufactured by JMC Lutherie.
