92.08 Musical boxes, fairground organs, mechanical street organs, mechanical singing birds, musical saws and other musical instruments not falling within any other heading of this Chapter; decoy calls of all kinds; whistles, call horns and other mouth-blown sound signalling instruments.
(A) MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS NOT FALLING IN ANY OTHER HEADING OF THIS CHAPTER
These include : (1) Musical boxes. These consist of small mechanical movements playing tunes automatically, incorporated into boxes or various other containers. The main component is a cylinder set with pins (according to the notes of the tune to be played); on rotating, the pins contact metal tongues arranged like the teeth of a comb, causing them to vibrate and produce the notes. The components are mounted on a plate and the cylinder is rotated either by a spring operated (clockwork) motor which is wound with a key or directly by a handle. In some types, the cylinder may be replaced by a sheet-metal disc made on the hill and dale principle.
Articles which incorporate a musical mechanism but which are essentially utilitarian or ornamental in function (for example, clocks, miniature wooden furniture, glass vases containing artificial flowers, ceramic figurines) are not regarded as musical boxes within the meaning of this heading. These articles are classified in the same headings as the corresponding articles not incorporating a musical mechanism.
Also, articles such as wrist watches, cups and greeting cards containing electronic musical modules are not regarded as goods of this heading. Such articles are classified in the same headings as the corresponding articles not incorporating such modules. (2) Fairground organs, e.g., orchestrions and similar instruments. Some fairgrounds organs are large instruments fitted with two dummy keyboards, one of which plays on metal strings by means of piano key-action, while the other controls organ pipes; in addition, there are catgut strings played by mechanical bows. These instruments may incorporate drums, cymbals, accordions, etc., thereby giving orchestra like effects. They are mainly used in amusement parks or fairgrounds, etc. They may be hand or power operated, and are played from perforated rolls or cards. (3) Mechanical street organs. These consist of a case containing a barrel (or cylinder) set with copper pins which, when turned by a handle, operate valves on wood or metal pipes. (4) Mechanical singing birds. These are small automatons usually enclosed in a cage. A spring-operated (clockwork) motor in the base of the cage actuates a set of pistons and bellows thereby producing a modulated note and causing the head and body of the imitation bird to move. (5) Musical saws. These have a special steel blade which is caused to vibrate either with a bow or a felt-headed hammer. (6) Other fancy instruments such as rattles and mouth-operated sirens.
Cards, discs and rolls, whether or not presented with instruments of this heading (see Note 2 to this Chapter), are always classified in heading 92.09. (B) DECOY CALLS OF ALL KINDS AND MOUTH-BLOWN SOUND SIGNALLING INSTRUMENTS (1) Decoy calls and effects, etc., are small mouth-blown or hand-operated instruments which imitate bird or animal calls in order to attract game. (2) Mouth-blown sound signalling instruments such as : (ⅰ) Horns and call horns, made of horn, bone, metal, etc. (ⅱ) Whistles (mouth-blown) of metal, wood, etc., for giving signals, etc.
The heading also excludes :(a) Door bells, table bells, bicycle bells, etc. (heading 83.06 or 85.31). (b) Bulb-operated horns and warning horns (e.g., for vehicles), ships’ sirens, portable or fixed hand operated roof sirens; these are classified according to the constituent material, or in Section XVI or XVII, as the case may be. (c) Electrically operated sound signalling equipment or apparatus (heading 85.12 or 85.31, as the case may be).
