University of Iowa Farm Machine Music

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the
Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machines
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft Iowa.

 It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video. It is now on display in the
Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be
donated to the Smithsonian.
