Here is my complete review and build steps of the ROKR magic harp music box wooden 3d puzzle (AMK71). It is a brilliant mechanical 3D puzzle with moving parts. I hope this review and buiding steps helps some of you that might need help with some of the steps!,

My Assembly Experience
Step 1
I have now completed the bottom piece of the music box where the wind-up music box fits into.
Step 2
I have now put in the music box, the two platforms and feet.
Step 3
I’m now building the first stages of the harp with the top and sides and fitting the strings.
Step 4
I have now got the harp body connected to the main base with the strings in place.
Step 6
Here I have put one side of the gears on the top of the harp. Next I will be adding the remaining gears on the other side.
Step 7
I have now completed the shaft with all the sides and trim.
Step 8
I have now put the shaft in place that moves the top gears which is connected to the base of harp. Also I have added the 2 side bits of trim on the top of the harp.
Step 9
I am now building the base with the stairs already fitted. The other area shows where the feet of the harp fit into it.
Step 10
This is the completed model of the harp which works really well.
My final thoughts
The quality of all the pieces including all the laser wood cutting detail seem to have been made very well.
I also like the harp puzzle because its full of movement and even the strings move and play music. I think it looks very cool and sounds great. I like how all the gears and shaft move as well as the movement from the strings. This is all activated underneath by the wind-up key of the music box.
One thing I would mention is to be very careful with some of the small fiddly pieces of wood as they are easily broken but can just as easily be mended with a small bit of glue. Also, not to forget to use wax throughout the building of the puzzle where indicated as this helps with free movement.
I found this puzzle was very interesting to build with all of its 350 bits some parts were very easy to build other parts were more complicated to complete. Overall this is great puzzle to build with some of it being more challenging which was great and also when it was fully completed it felt that it was something special I had finished
