      I dunno man. If you actually make a better machine you'll have taken up 2 spots in the 7 wonders of the world, and that's just too much power for one man to have.
      Absolutely deserved though, and I can only imagine how great it feels to have something you worked so hard on legitimately get the recognition it deserves. What an inspiration.

    The most crazy part about it is that it isn't just the most elaborate music box. There is a need for the player to actively play the guitar, pull the correct levers at the correct time, and then there is intermission. This is not just a feat of engineering but also a true display of skill.

      The thing that worries me about the Marble Machine X is all the clicking it does. I'm afraid it will ruin the melody. This machine was darn near silent.

      Actually, MMX is much quieter compared to the OG Marble Machine. You can hear at different point in this recording the sound of all the gears meshing while MMX is near silent with the gears

    In another video he said that they spent 60 days filming it because the machine was never flawless... so he spent 60 days of his life spinning the crank at exactly the right speed while simultaniously pulling those levers like a madman.... if this is not dedication then I don't know what is.

      He is using the headphones so he can hear the recorded version of the song in real time.
      If you noticed there are microphones positioned in front of the "instruments", and they are hooked up to the synthesizer on the back of the marble machine (which you can see in the video).
      The syntesizer enhances the created sounds in real time, and what we can hear is the product.
      You can watch what the machine sounds like without any enhancements on his channel.
