An early version of Pennsylvania – the 3 stylus’ on the center wheel weren’t striking the grill from the appropriate angle to get the right sound.  We dismantled this version and focused our efforts on converting the circular motion of the hand crank (part of an old dough mixer) into linear motion that would scrape the grill vertically.

The War Hammer and The War Shield

The metal rectangle mounted to the top is my music stand, but hopefully I’ll commit the show to memory and won’t need it!
