This is pretty inventive!

Martin Molin has built a cool marble music machine that is unlike any musical instrument you have seen. It uses marbles to play the notes through a complicated series of levers and pulls.

He seems to make quite a few of these. Aside from consuming time and money, I don't see the point. It's not like he can throw one together in a weekend. To each his own.
