Peter Allway's Lego Dulcimer

Post by penelec » Sun Feb 06, 2005 5:40 am

Anyone hear the piece on NPR about building instruments completely from Legos? I'm thinking the hardest part is convincing my son to give up the parts. But it actually sounded pretty good.

If anyone's up for a group buy on Legos, let me know.

edit: Here's the link.

I'm going to start making Quantegy 456 out of legos. Then all my problems are solved.

psssh, that's nothing compared to the Lego Harpsichord made by Henry Lim.

Not to mention his other awesome Lego Art/Sculptures: http://www.henrylim.org/LEGOSculptures.html

Love that dinosaur!

And it all comes full circle.

I'm starting to think the universe is made up of like five dudes who actually run everything. Drew, Wing, maybe Bear and Bobby. And Larry.
