A mechanical music machine, built from bits of old piano and driven by computer built by third year student Felix Thorn (21) it resembles an eccentric Heath Robinson- type invention with an array of hammers, keys and dampers – all taken from an old upright piano. He has also added drums, a glockenspiel and other percussion instruments. The whole construction is connected to a computer which sends signals to set the keys in motion to create a sound, described by Felix as “a music box on drugs”. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/section-blog/334-felix-thorns-robotic-musi...
