Some YouTube Comments below;
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative
effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick
School of Engineering at the University of Iowa ..
Amazingly, 97%
of the machines components came from John Deere Industries
and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa ...Yes, farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up,
alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as
you can see it was WELL worth the effort.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall
at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian
