Apparently.......
This machine was built as a collaborative effort between R.M. Trammell Music Conservatory and Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa.
97% of the components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft - farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of work before this video was filmed.  The machine is on display at the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is to be donated to the Smithsonian.
Call me cynical if you like, but I can't help feeling this owes more to graphics than mechanics.......
Still good though!

      This is from YouTube :-)

      Incredible 3D computer animation created by Wayne Lytle and his team at Animusic in Austin, Texas, and the subject of an urban legend that stated this machine was actually real.
