There is a particular kind of afternoon that only a cat and an old record player understand.
Vintage Cat Gramophone is an 88-piece laser-cut wooden music box kit: a miniature gramophone with a flared horn and a small wooden cat curled up as though the music were purely for her. Build the cabinet and the horn, turn the key, and the melody carries across the room.
Fewer pieces and a gentler rating make it the easiest build in the series - and it looks like something your grandmother would have refused to throw away.

Why builders choose it
- 88 precision laser-cut pieces - A friendly build with clean edges and a snug fit - a good first kit if you are new to this.
- A wind-up melody in the horn - Turn the key and the gramophone plays on its own - no batteries, no cables, no app.
- Hand-cut vintage detailing - Spun horn, dial, and cabinet trim, all cut into the wood rather than printed on it.
- Finished at 4.0 x 4.1 x 7.1 in - Desk-sized, so it lives where you actually sit rather than on a far shelf.
- The gentlest build in the series - Fewer pieces and a relaxed fit make this a good first wooden kit.
- Illustrated stage-by-stage build - Numbered stages, drawn clearly, start to finish.
For the cat person who insists they are not a cat person
This one goes to the friend whose camera roll is ninety percent cat, the colleague who still plays vinyl, or anyone who likes their objects with a bit of history. It plays, it sits still, and it asks for nothing - much like the animal it is modelled on.
