Obtaining Music Rights

If the song you wish to put in your custom music box is your own composition, you need only send us a simple fax or letter with a short statement saying you are the author of the work, that we have your permission, and your signature.

If the song you wish to use was written by someone else, such as a popular tune played over the air, we will need to obtain permission from the publisher to mechanically reproduce it as a music box movement. This permission is called a synchronization (aka merchandising or novelty) rights license. To obtain this license, the publisher (or author in some cases) must be contacted to get that signed permission.

To save extra charges, You may make a quick search of the three major performing rights organizations to see which one handles that song, do a song search for the contact info for that artist/publisher on their website, and contact the artist/publisher for permission. Depending on the tune, the publisher and their time spent on legal work, there could be a charge of $35 to $250 to them. Occasionally there is an extra licensing fee.

If you wish us to do the search and request we would have to charge you for our time.

If you have the permission, then just fax a signed copy to us at: (516) 883-4438.
