The MusicMachine will touch off no shortage of conversation about its unique pattern . But it ’s as much a technical marvel as it is a dish . Each brass cylinder plays three different 35 2d snippets of a song , admit the theme from Star Wars , Star Trek , and the Imperial March on one , and Smoke On the Water , Another Brick In the Wall , and reckon on the other . Both are covered in some 1,400 pocket-sized pins that strike a metal comb capable of producing 72 unique notes , and to play the dissimilar tracks the cylinder stir slightly to the side to realign the pin tumbler .
Only 66 of the MusicMachines will be produced—33 in contraband lacquer and 33 in white — and they ’ll each trade for just over $ 13,000 each . Making it one of the most expensive and most limited media histrion to ever hit the market . But at least it number DRM - free . [ MB&FviaHodinkee ]
