While pointlessly surfing YouTube I discovered that Toyota have now developed robots that are better at playing the Violin that I am.
Pretty simple, I guess, but it also walks and moves it arms around, as well as having a pretty snazzy human-like figure. It doesn't sound brilliant, but it has some nice vibrato (I'm not sure if this is intentional though) on some of the longer notes.

Anyway, I won't talk much on it - just watch the video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzjkBwZt ... =rec-HM-r2)

As if! If you could get the frequency just right, you'll make people's heads explode! Or make their ear drums implode.
