A musical instrument...

...as HR Giger might have imagined it. Beautiful and nightmarish at the same time. 

(IMO, the eight-string that opens the piece could use a luthier's setup...)

Ive seen a bunch of these on Youtube, and I think my favorite is the one that uses 'ball bearings' to strike the notes.

Wow; steampunk instrument! Amazing and very, very cool although I didn't see the two harp thingies played at all...did I?

And yeah, some people have WAAAAY too much time and money on their hands.

Very cool. I shoved that at a buddy of mine that does animation stuff in his "copious" free time.

The harp-guitar thing gets played. Maybe the the two upright harp-like things are meant to be sympathetic (like on a hardingfele or nyckelharpa.)

Eerie, beautiful, futuristic (remember 1984?).
