Moonlight Peaks Gramophone Guide: Where to Buy & Muse Trees

Quick Answer:

Primary Function: The Gramophone is a specialized audio station required to grow and harvest Muse Trees (the all-season fruit tree purchased from Luna for 6,000 Coins). Without an active Gramophone playing nearby, a Muse Tree will neither mature nor yield fruit!
Where to Buy (Guaranteed Method): Purchase the Red Gramophone from Samael at The Broken Lamp for 2,000 Coins. Talk to Samael behind the bar counter during opening hours (6:00 PM – 2:00 AM), open the shopping menu, and scroll to the bottom of the Furniture tab.
Alternative Variants: Unique colored chassis variants (Brass, Ebony) occasionally rotate as random stock at Ridge's Howling Hammer shop.
How to Know It's Working: When the Gramophone is playing music within range, the Muse Tree will visibly sway and dance to the rhythm!

Where to Buy the Gramophone: Step-by-Step

Many players waste in-game weeks checking Ridge's carpentry store daily because early pre-patch information listed the item exclusively as a random rotation.

Guaranteed Purchase from Samael:

Wait until 6:00 PM when evening begins.
Walk to the southeastern corner of the town plaza near the fishing docks to enter The Broken Lamp tavern.
Speak with the vampire bartender Samael and select the shopping option.
Click on the Furniture tab (the chair icon).
Scroll down to the final entry to purchase the Gramophone for 2,000 Coins.

How to Power Muse Trees with the Gramophone

The Muse Tree is an expensive investment (6,000 Coins per sapling from Luna's Seed Stall) that takes 25 nights to mature and yields exotic fruit every 7 nights across all seasons.

Setup & Activation Steps:

Plant the Sapling: Dig a 3×3 clear space on your farmstead and plant the Muse Tree sapling.
Place the Gramophone: Enter Decorate Mode and place the Gramophone on an adjacent tile beside the tree trunk (within a 3-tile radius).
Turn On the Music: Walk up to the Gramophone and press the Action key to turn it on (musical notes will float into the air).
Visual Confirmation: Observe the Muse Tree. If placed correctly, the branches and leaves will begin rhythmically swaying and dancing.

Troubleshooting Gramophone & Muse Tree Issues

1. "My Muse Tree is not producing fruit after 25 days"

Cause: The Gramophone was toggled off, moved out of range, or suffered a music desynchronization glitch during a season transition.
Fix: Interact with the Gramophone to turn it OFF, wait 5 seconds, and interact again to turn it ON. Confirm that the dancing animation resumes.

2. "Can I move a mature Muse Tree?"

Answer: Yes! Do not chop down your 6,000-Coin tree with an Axe. Cast the Arborascend spell learned from Selene to safely levitate and reposition mature fruit trees without resetting their growth timer.

3. "Can one Gramophone power multiple Muse Trees?"

Answer: Yes. A single Gramophone covers a 3×3 surrounding radius, allowing you to cluster up to 4 to 8 Muse Trees around a central music station.
