Sharpsicord like a giant music box

Music

Henry Dagg made this giant metallic instrument, called the sharpsicord. A combination of music box and harp, you can program sounds into it by sticking pins into a giant metal drum. When the crank is turned, the barrels spins, and the pins cause individual strings to play. [via neatorama]

    I had to laugh my (blank) off through the whole video. It looked like, a made for the movies, stereotypical well financed evil mad scientist testing his latest evil invention with his trusty sidekick Egor slaving over the crank. Ha Ha Ha…. Great stuff.
