CONCEPT - French Horn

This is, put simply, a playable LEGO french horn. It features the new mindstorms hub, three medium motors, one force sensor (from LEGO education Spike Prime), and one distance sensor. The three motors are each hooked by a linkage to a key, the force sensor senses the amount of pressure on the mouthpiece, and the distance sensor is used to determine if there is a mute in the bell. The hub's 5x5 display shows the current embouchure level, as measured by the force sensor. Any brass players out there know what that means! The complex shape of the instrument would be approximated using technic panels, flex axles, and even the motor cords themselves!
(Note: the image didn't fit, so I had to crop it in half. I hope it's not too confusing!)
