The da Vinci Orchestra

When I think to music the first thing that comes to my mind is creating. Music itself incarnate this concept, as well as almost all the things that I do when listening to music, from writing to programming, and of course, building with LEGO. So, I took this chance to make a tribute to one of the greatest creators of all time, Leonardo da Vinci.

This composition is a collection of almost all the musical instruments invented by da Vinci, plus a little bust just for fun. Below the list of all the instrument built, with the name in English and in Italian.

  • Continuous Organ (Organo Continuo);
  • Mechanical Drum (Tamburo Meccanico);
  • Musical Can(n)on (Can(n)one Musicale);
  • Organ-viola (Viola Organista);
  • Glissato Flute (Flauto Glissato);
  • Giant Trumpet (Tromba Gigante);
  • Elastic Drum (Tamburo Elastico);
  • Harpsi-viola (Clavi-viola);
  • Continuous Piva (Piva Continua);
  • Argent Lira (Lira d'Argento);
  • Continuous Accordion (Organetto Continuo).

The model is built with a total of 2348 pieces, including the platforms.

Enjoy!
