An Arduino based Christmas greeting

Since childhood I've loved this festive march of the Christmas elves by the German composer Kurt Noack. So I thought it would be time to record it on my Arduino Leonardo powered reed organ.

I've downloaded a score from Musescore.com, did some editing of the score to match the peculiar requirements of the reed organ and the cheep servos. After that, it's just playback from Musescore editor, through the Leonardo and to my vacuum cleaner powered reed organ. Sorry for the noisy vacuum cleaner.

Merry Christmas!

That is so cool !
But your Youtube videos have so little views.

Perhaps with more explanation of how it is made with a catchy tune might help. It can inspire others.

There is a Category to show a project: Exhibition / Gallery - Arduino Forum
You can scroll up and change the category.

Piano keys moving automatically! Watched this only in horror movies earlier. Cool.

That sounds like a delightful and creative project! Using an Arduino Leonardo to power a reed organ and playing a festive march composed by Kurt Noack is a wonderful way to bring joy and Christmas spirit into your home.

Modifying the score to match the requirements of the reed organ and the servos shows your dedication to creating a unique musical experience. It's impressive that you have found a way to integrate the playback from the Musescore editor through the Arduino Leonardo, allowing your reed organ to play the tune.

While the vacuum cleaner might add some background noise, it's the creativity and effort you've put into this project that truly shines through. Your Arduino-powered reed organ will surely create a cheerful atmosphere and spread holiday cheer.

Merry Christmas to you too! Enjoy the magical sounds of the Christmas elves' march on your reed organ and have a joyful and memorable holiday season.

Hello... Easter has been...

Did you have had a collision with a blackhole, haven´t you? :nerd_face:
