My home made Light Harp

A Light Harp I have build into the carcass of an old Blaupunkt Radio. Not as dramatic visually as the big laser harps, but more a nice and sophisticated table model :-)
It has reached a 90% completion level which is as far as any of my projects usually get, thus time to tube it.
Sorry for the noise on the recording. It is caused by a hazer standing right under the camera.

This sounds really cool! Do you know what the instrument you play with your hands is called? You don't touch it with anything... you just wave your hands and play it in a space between two metal bars. And it's on a wooden base. I forgot the name of it.

Hey dude, amazing build. Any chance of getting the schematics? I'd really like to build one of these and yours seems to be one of the better ones out there. Also, is there any way to change it from light to laser? I know you said you did light for the look and all, but I prefer the look of the lasers personally. Well man, I would be so grateful if you could post all the schematics and whatnot. One final question, cost. How much did it cost to make this stunning peace?

Oh crap, the link in the sidebar was wrong. It should be correct now!

@marlonrandom Well, that's the "You" in the "YouTube"...

Damn very impressive, my poor homemade harp seems sucky now ^^

ach! sorry for the multi-comment. this "new YouTube" confuses me. see what i mean? i can't handle complexity! :?P

[lightharp]

hey, i just watched this video again (i've seen it a handful of times already) and it seems more impressive every time! you should be proud of yourself for such an amazing achievement. i went on your tinkartank site and looked at the pictures of the guts of this thing... it's FAR more complex than anything i've built! you are seriously smart, dude! killer idea to use a radio as the frame. probably a lot cheaper than buying all those switches / buttons individually.
