Before even touching a piece, users gain a great understanding of the mechanics inside of the music machine. Users are walked through the process of building the machine and the mechanics such as the turning gears that spin the machine. After it is built, users can also design their own music and practice pattern identification and observation by placing pegs on the wheel to change the resulting tunes. A great toy to combine an interest in music with interest in design and other STEM topics. - D. C. Coble, Purdue Reviewer
