Trumpet - Karakuri Idea Contest 2019

Karakuri perfection.  The smooth, flowing curves of a trumpet have been masterfully crafted from wood with striking attention to detail.  Its theme is not just decorative but deeply woven into the puzzle’s logic, with a solution that is natural and cohesive.  This beautifully executed masterpiece captures the very spirit of Karakuri craftsmanship: elegant, surprising, and delightfully playful. All original packaging included.

Karakuri product description:

Trumpet fingering and Karakuri are combined in this item. In the proposal, there was only a trumpet. But a case was added to make a full-scale mechanism. Solve the Karakuri and open the drawer that is in the case. There are only 3 buttons that can be operated. The mechanics of the trumpet that can make all sounds with just those 3 buttons is amazing and is like a puzzle. There is no actual sound. But, try this item as you actually play trumpet on the scale.
