i understand the appeal of building machines, buy why musical ones? i just don't understand what you hope to gain from this...

How else do you think things like the piano and the electric guitar came about? Heck, even as simple as a lyre? Through exploration and experimentation like this. Not to mention, look at what the digital sound processor has done for music, especially in the 80s. What do we have to gain from this? More beauty, more music. Why create ANY art? For enjoyment.

Yes, very soon. 3 months later...any glimmer of hope? My guess is, you're going to be "very close" for many, many years.

Four months to design and build. Pretty busy!
