This is fascinating! Such imagination to come up with this invention.
Where can I buy the kit?

One word: wow.
My husband was totally bowled over by this machine; me, uncomprehending and amazed…!
I am flabbergasted by the amount of work and ingenuity that when into make that musical instrument.
Built by a Swede, we have too much time on our hands…

Well, your Swedish winters are long! BTW, I am of Swedish ancestry and I would l love to visit there someday; I hear it is a beautiful country! 🙂
Truly astonishing!
Mind. Blown.?
Not bowled over by the music itself, BUT OH MY GOSH, it takes someone with the technical/mechanical ingenuity of a Leonardo da Vinci to come up with this machine!!!!! Not to mention remarkable muscle power to operate it, all the more remarkable in this uber-slender dude.
