The JunkYard Music Box

Musical instrument builder Tom Kaufmann shows us the JunkYard Music Box, a massive musical installation he took to ArtPrize 2012 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It’s an “automated, human powered musical sculpture, made entirely of recycled materials.” The kids had a wonderful time playing it -or playing on it, or with it- anyway, they had a great time!  

Kaufmann also makes the personal musical sculptures called Your Name Rings a Bell, which you can buy here. My kids and I all have them.
