This interesting animation is an argument for how a self-playing harp might work. The one thing that would improve its efficiency is to have a "plucker" that is dedicated to each string (as you see on the bass part of this contraption) rather than have each plucker pick at any or all of the strings. What do you think?

Someone sent me some questions about information theory; or actually,
about some questions raised by a bozo creationist arguing about information
theory. But the issues raised are interesting. So while I'm
nominally snarking at a clueless creationist, I'm really using it
as an excuse to talk…
Another chaos theory post is in progress. But while I was working on it, a couple of
comments arrived on some old posts. In general, I'd reply on those posts if I thought
it was worth it. But the two comments are interesting not because they actually lend
anything to the discussion to which they…
Isn't a harp with a plucker for each string essentially just a harpsichord?
I don't think it's trying to be efficient. If you want that use an MP3 player, as that's also a device for making attractive sounds.
I'd be fasinated to see if it could be built. Probably nothing that beautiful look as you'd need lots of wires, motors or hydraulics to power everything.
I think some of their animations are marvellous, although I tend to prefer some of the earlier, percussive ones. I haven't seen all of Animusic 3, though.
Love the time signatures.
