Homemade Robotic Xylophone Plays Holiday Melodies 70
compumike writes "Just in time to add a bit of geeky holiday cheer to your office, this video demonstrates how to build a robotic xylophone featuring handmade solenoids and aluminum bars, and shows it playing several classic holiday tunes. New songs can be programmed in with C macros, and this project could even be extended to perhaps play a melody when a new e-mail arrived or a software build has finished compiling!"

A xylophone has wooden bars. This would more correctly be called a metallophone.
With that important piece of information pointed out, you can all carry on now.
