"Musical Marvel: Homemade Solenoids Power Auto Xylophone"

TL;DR Summary
A DIY enthusiast named Rachad has created an automatic xylophone using homemade solenoids controlled by a computer. The project involved building custom solenoids using coils of wire and nails, and the software converts MIDI files into a serial output read by an Arduino. While the instrument may not be suitable for professional orchestras, it produces a surprisingly good sound. Rachad plans to further develop the project by training an AI to read sheet music in the future.
