Thats crazy lego!

Must have cost a grand or more.

who does this guy play with? The kid next door only has the
farm yard set.

he probably crane lifts the star destroyer and enslaves the
farm and the family next door.

The Magic Pipe

The Magic Pipe, also known by his close friends as 'The
Broken Bowflex', is a homemade, electronically rigged pair
of machined aluminum pipes (previously steel in its first
incarnation), connected by adjustable phosphorus bronze
joints, with each pipe hosting an orchestral bass string.
The harp-shaped instrument is roughly seven feet tall and
features 13 trigger points, which can be mapped to various
musical sound effects or samples. The front pipe uses a low
C string, while the rear pipe's string is used to achieve
more tenor ranged notes. The pipes themselves are employed
to produce various percussive sounds while That 1 Guy slaps,
plucks, or bows the strings, as well as occasionally
utilizing a drum stick to sound the strings and the pipes at
the same time. The creation of the Magic Pipe was based on
Silverman’s double bass experience, as well as borrowing
from the concepts of the gutbucket and the diddley bow.

The Electronium, created by Raymond Scott, is an early
combined electronic synthesizer and algorithmic composition
/ generative music machine.

The exact time for the beginning of Scott's efforts in
making the machine is not known, but it is estimated to the
late 1950s or early 1960s, with a workable unit by 1969.
Scott, however, never ceased to modify and further develop
the device by the time of his death in 1994.
