Musical Organ Created From 49 Floppy Disk Drives

Posted by samzenpus on from the soothe-the-savage-student dept.

ErnieKey writes: A youth club in Germany, called Toolbox Bodensee, has created an unusual musical organ. It is constructed of 49 floppy disk drives all of which combine to play quite a unique sound. It has the ability to be played manually or act as a playback device. If you have a bunch of old floppy drives and want to assemble your own organ, the 3D print files are available for free download on Thingiverse.

    No doubt inspired by this guy, or any number of others like him who've been doing this for several year now.

    Though admittedly without the buzzword worthy but otherwise pointless 3D printed plastic brackets.
