They are a vibrant, joyous and utterly adorable group in search of a new + loving home :)

ABOUT THE MONKEY BAND
The Monkey Orchestra, was first made by Meissen in 1753, for Augustus III, King of Saxony, in 1753 supposedly after a quest at one his lavish banquets made fun of his orchestra and said that they played like performing monkeys. The figurines were created by the Meissen modeller Johann Joachim Kaendler and revised by modeller Peter Reinicke in 1765/66. A full orchestra consists of 21 figurines, plus a music stand, but most sets coming onto the market contain fewer figures. Later, other factories picked up the design and produced their own version of the monkey orchestra, and Meissen is still making a monkey orchestra.
