How to Purchase with Buyee
If I receive an item in Japan and independently arrange to have it forwarded overseas

Orgel Gallery ships products directly within Japan only.

If you receive an item at an address in Japan and later, at your own discretion and arrangement, have the item forwarded or transported overseas, Orgel Gallery does not arrange, recommend, or manage that overseas forwarding or transportation.

To help ensure that products are shipped in proper condition, we inspect the condition and operation of applicable products before shipment.

After delivery to the designated address in Japan, we are unable to confirm the transportation environment, handling, storage, or other conditions during any independently arranged overseas forwarding or transportation.

Therefore, damage, malfunction, or other issues caused by overseas forwarding or international transportation after delivery in Japan are not eligible for return or exchange as an initial product defect or as damage occurring during transportation arranged by Orgel Gallery.

We kindly ask for your understanding in advance.

Can you deliver my order to my hotel while I am visiting Japan?

Yes. We can deliver to hotels and other accommodation addresses within Japan.

When placing your order, please enter the hotel name and address as the shipping address, enter the name used for your hotel reservation as the recipient name, and include your check-in date in the order notes.

To ensure smooth delivery, please contact your hotel in advance and let them know that a parcel will be delivered in your name.
Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes when taking or shipping the music box to my country?

In many countries, customs duties, import taxes, VAT or other charges may apply according to local customs regulations.

The amount and applicable rules vary by country, so we recommend checking the regulations in your destination country in advance.

Any duties, taxes or other charges incurred are the responsibility of the customer, whether the product is shipped internationally through Buyee or personally taken home from Japan.

Viewing & Listening in Japan

Can I see and listen to ORPHEUS music boxes while visiting Japan?

Yes. Music boxes may be viewed and listened to at the following two facilities in Japan. We invite you to experience the craftsmanship and beautiful sound of Japanese mechanical music boxes.

Before your visit:
The models and music selections on display are limited. If you would like to see a particular model or listen to a specific song, please contact the facility in advance to confirm availability.

About Our Music Boxes

What is the difference between 30-note, 50-note and 72-note music boxes?

Generally, a larger number of notes provides a wider musical range and allows richer harmonies and arrangements. For a particularly memorable item from Japan or a special gift, we especially recommend the 50-note or 72-note models.

  • 30-note:
    A refined standard model featuring the main melody with a simple accompaniment. One cylinder rotation provides approximately 30 seconds of music.
  • 50-note:
    A premium model offering richer harmony, decorative notes and more detailed musical expression. Depending on the arrangement, models are available with one longer piece played over two or three cylinder rotations, or with multiple melodies in one music box.
  • 72-note:
    A flagship-class cylinder music box offering exceptional depth, rich harmony and delicate musical detail. As with the 50-note models, both extended single-piece arrangements and multiple-melody versions are available.

About Listening and Viewing

About Music Boxes

What is the difference between 30-note, 50-note, and 72-note music boxes?

Generally, the more notes an music box has, the wider the range of sound it can express, allowing for richer chords and arrangements. We especially recommend 50-note and 72-note music boxes as special souvenirs from Japan or gifts for loved ones.

  • 30-note:
    A high-quality standard model that primarily plays the main melody with simple accompaniment. Plays a melody of approximately 30 seconds per rotation of the cylinder.
  • 50-note:
    A model that allows you to enjoy more authentic musical expression with rich chords and embellishments. There are specifications that play one song for a longer duration (2-3 cylinder rotations) and specifications that allow you to enjoy multiple songs in one unit.
  • 72-note:
    A high-grade cylinder music box with a rich sound and delicate embellishments. Similar to the 50-note type, there are specifications that play one long song and specifications that play multiple songs.
