First watch the videos below and then read the commentary:

What if I tell you that these videos are the hard work of very talented group of people.  People who spent over 13000 hours of assembling, arranging, calibrating the farm equipments like Pipe, Hoses etc. to create this astonishing music arrangement.

You would believe me for a minute and will be surprised what creative minds can do. Here is another one:

But, I am sorry to say, this is a Prank which is being circulated in email as attachment.  Though it is true no Iowa engineer worked on any music instrument like this, yet a different set of talented people at Animusic created this masterpiece.  The prank email says something like this:

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.

A similar email, I received yesterday.  Obviously I did some research to find out the truth.  Surprisingly, there is no Music Conservatory by that name in University of Iowa.  For more details read this article…

Well, this incredible music instrument is a collaborative efforts of engineers using 3D computer graphics, animation and digital synchronization. You can get this music videos yourself from Animusic site and use them to impress others.  There is even a screen saver available for download to be used on Windows PCs.

Other than that you can subscribe to Animusic Video Podcast in iTunes or in a RSS reader.  You may want to look at other Youtube videos from Animusic LLC.

Personally, hats off to the real guys who created these music animations.  These are f…ing awesome…!!!  What do you say?  Before you say anything, here is another masterpiece:
