Here is a wonderful musical sculpture crafted by Christopher T. Palmer on display at the Maker Faire. The piece is called “Nicht mit dem Titel, ein” Google translate says this means “Not with the title, a” or something like that.
It uses restored cuckoo clock whistles, a microcontroller, some model servos. It plays every 15 minutes.
More information on Chris and his studio can be found here.

University of California, Davis engineering students Sam Dawson (left) and Andrew Chung (right) demonstrate their engineering project at the Bay Area Maker Faire. The microprocessors in each box are equipped with infrared sensors and emitters that “talk” to each other and glow different colors to indicate their relationships to another box.
The project provided hands-on experience in both hardware and software to supplement lectures and textbook learning.

The laser harp drew a lot of attention from little kids. The string less musical instrument features laser beams, laser sensors and an electronic harp that can actually teach how to play a tune.
