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 . Yes, farm equipment!

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

This was sent as emails and online on other websites….the truth is the eRumor is a hoax.

The music is actually an acclaimed example of what is called “animated music” and is titled Pipe Dream. It is from www.animusic.com and is included on a DVD of other animated music productions.

The University of Iowa says there is neither a “Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory” nor a “Sharon Wick School of Engineering” on the campus. Those are fictional institutions.
