If This Were Only Real...


This is the paragraph that comes with the video:

"This Fantastic Machine was built as a collaborative effort between The Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the U.of Iowa. 97% of the machine's components came from John Deere & Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa. Yes, farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning. It's on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the U. of Iowa and is to be donated to the Smithsonian."

If you go here, you'll get the real story.

Regardless... the video is pretty dammed impressive....

Go on... take a peek....
