The Musical MARBLE Machine...

This is so cool! Here's a direct link which I hope passes muster with everyone (I checked and didn't see anything objectionable in any of the sidebars). Kids will enjoy it, too. Sometimes, I see things like this and feel as if I totally squandered my potential.

Built and composed by Martin Molin...

@MacDUFF WOW!

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

Wow that's some kind of musical marble machine. Takes a lot of work putting on a one man show with that. Some people have quite the imagination. I see he has other videos.

I have a whole cigar box full or marbles I collected when I was a kid maybe I could make one of those. LOL!!!

@MacDUFF I collected these marbles when I was a kid in Hawaii. When dad would give me a little change I always went to Toyland to buy marbles. LOL!!! Dad smoked cigars so we had plenty of these cigar boxes. Most were filled with slides, negatives, photos.
