The Musical MARBLE Machine...

[ Edited ]

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 times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

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.
