I can conceive of only one scenario in which this could exist in physical space: the cylinder is actually a really long belt that extends waaaay down, and this music box is actually like four stories tall. That's the only possible way Edit: I said this mainly as a joke but I appreciate the people smarter than me replying with actual possibilities
@@blockybeanz9924 or there could be something underneath the roll thingy popping little holes into the rod, adding new bumps to the cylinder, and flattening them out when it gets to the bottom.
Not necessarily. Engineers immediately have their minds jump to working on how to actually make this. One possibility would be for the metal to be a large belt instead of a cylinder.
Funny thing is - Rush-E was specifically intended to be unplayable by single pianist , but people still manage to do it 😂 BTW (my engineer brain speaking) I think it’s technically possible to develop and manufacture such device, but people won’t buy enough of them to justify development and manufacturing costs
@@lightsnmore6253 the fabric would not create the right sound. but you could do some electromechanical dohickey to make it play whatever. But it would require speciality tools and a lot of ingenunity.
@@GeirEivindMork small two state mechanism, similar to how braille practice boards work, for the pegs. Then use ramps to set the pegs, one set to reset them and another, controlled with servos or electromagnetic actuators, to set the correct ones to play.
Imagine that you're in a haunted house then you see a music box. Suddenly it starts playing by itself, but it plays rush e Edit: whoa 2k likes in 10 days? Thanks guys!
Then you observe that, in order to fit all these notes, this cylinder must exist in non-euclidean space and come to the realisation that means, on a scale of 1-10 of how screwed you are, you have just hit at least a 14.
I've always thought the same thing. Someone else commented so they don't get dirty or gummed up, but it would be MUCH easier to clean than a covered one.
I have a music box mechanism (my mom found it somewhere without the box, just like this), and I think the answer is resonation. When it is covered by something, even just my hand, the sound becomes louder and clearer, more concentrated, because it resonates from what surrounds it. But I have to admit, the mechanism is awesome to look at when uncovered.
Like a funfair organ. With the book it uses to play the notes (that is either driven by an engine or hand cranked) EDIT..... It exists on such an organ!!! ON 2 DIFFERENT SUCH ORGANS EVEN!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TY3BxZvS9bE.html&ab_channel=ThijsHaenen (if the link doesn't work: search for "rush e belgian dance organ") ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-30Q-LWXdPDk.html&ab_channel=%E3%80%90%E6%89%8B%E5%9B%9E%E3%81%97%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%80%91YukiKojima-KojiKojiMoheji- (if this link doesn't work: search for "rush e streetorgan flute type")
OK this is so well rendered I thought it was an actual music box with an HD camera filming it for a solid 2 seconds and was wondering how they would pull of the song. (until you realise there is something off about the cylinder)
@@SILVERGARDENOFCVNTS I thought that for a second too because that's how "player Pianos" work but this has pegs and not holes like the player piano has. Also if you look to the right side of the cylinder you can see underneath it.
This video shows Rush E being played on an instrument that few would have thought of, and while he came up with a variety of ideas himself, it also conveys his deep dedication to the instrument. I did it! I got 110 likes for the first time in my life! Thank you everyone!

well, won't you tell us how you made this? did you use some kind of existing music box simulation, or did you actually model and animate this by yourself? is the sound simulated or just synchronized over it? i mean it's cool seeing it, but it'd be even more interesting to see how it works!
At first I thought it was a real music box, then I realised the notes don't fit on the cylinder, thought it was some kind of band mechanism. Turns out it's just a 3D animation - the box looks too pristine (no scratches, dust, fingerprints) and the pins are not vibrating while they play the note.
imagine if we didn't invent ear pods and instead we carried a backpack with like automated instruments inside, and popular music artists would have to make their own tapes instead of like records n stuff
Me with my music boxes at home: Wait something’s wrong. It’s not possible to have that many notes on it with that kind of music box. WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS?!
Rush E is a played out black-midi meme, but this is actually the first time I've seen it played, and it's not even by a real person, where it's really interesting to me. The original is black-midi so it's obviously just a jumble of notes that makes it impossible to humanly play, but this is the simplified very easily played version of the tune that everyone and their mom has played, but it's still very much impossible at face value. I don't know and don't care how it was done, it's the first time I've ever actually been entertained by Rush E.
Very, very clever. The only thing that gives it away, apart from the repeating pattern of imperfections in the drum surface, is the lack of vibration in the tines as they are released. Beautiful modelling.
Many real musical boxes have accidentals left out of the scale intentionally, in order to provide as wide of a bass-to-treble note range as possible, while still working within the confines of a relatively few notes / teeth on the comb for a given small sized musical box. Obviously, the music arrangers who work for the musical box companies, have to modify all but the simplest or most diatonic tunes, to fit the available notes, to the point where sometimes they sound 'funny' or 'wrong'. Also, see my other comment reply (somewhere in here!) about larger musical boxes having multiple teeth tuned to the SAME NOTE to facilitate normal speed repetition, since the plucking action is actually a bit slow (unlike this computer generated video). So that is why serious musical boxes often have large combs with many teeth, is to: 1. make them more chromatic; and 2. enable them to repeat more notes more quickly.
I refuse to believe that this was a render without confirmation from the person who made this cover. There are far too many imperfections that would be damn near impossible to recreate in any 3d modeling software, as well as just how goddamn realistic it looks. If it is really a render then I'll eat my words, but until proven that it is then my hat's off to the guy who managed to hide the copper scroll that was used for this cover. Also, is it just me or does this sound like something that'd be right at home in a horror movie at the start? I hope SMB sees this, they'd love it.
If you think this is cool, search for 'Animusic' in RU-vid :) A small team programmed their own animation software so that they could play the music on an electronic keyboard and every note was automatically animated by their software. And that was back in 2001, so yep, the quality of CGI available to the general public has improved to become almost photo-real since then. Whatever the specifics of how this music box was made, it's definitely a super cool animation!
