It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).

Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

I'm curious about the speed variations of the spinning circular piece (positioned to act as the violins' bow).
