If only it was real, what a build it would be.

At first glance I thought who could have possibly built this?

Thats neat! Ill bet it was challenging even as an animation project - the animated plucking synchs pretty well to the audio.

Ill bet some clever woodworker could build the part you see in the vid. (I couldnt, but Ill bet some of the guys here could. )

Seems like the hard part would be the mechanism to read the music and move the arm/fingers. Though maybe with todays digital controls and servo motors, maybe even thats not quite a hard as it could be.

Thanks for showing us this one.

That's amazing, it looks like something that Disney would produce.

I am sure Rube Goldberg would have no problem building this!

Yeah, Animusic is pretty cool. They've got some really great stuff even more complex than this... good music too.

Here's a real life version of it:

Screw building it, who would want to tune it? I know I would not.
