Looks amazing! Reminds me of a funny reddit thread about a man who built a fiber optic star ceiling for his daughter. The top comment was "First child?". :) https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/8g8pce/fiberoptic_star...
Don't assume: Could be an only child, or the spouse is stay-at-home, or the author has family wealth and doesn't need a full time job.

#83I'm a 44 year old man and I would love this - for years I've tried to dabble with music with much lack of success - but this looks really fun to play with. Great job.
I've been messing around making a small web based project that does something similar if you're interested in trying a dabble: https://shantylab.com

The problem with music is you can't dabble. You need to dedicate half an hour per day for a few weeks before you reach the point where you are not terrible. You need years of dedicated practice before you can call yourself good. Finding that time is hard. Still making your own music is run and so I encourage you to press through.

#88> A 3D-printed enclosure is fine for a prototype, but a real product likely needs injection-molded parts, which require expensive tooling. For kid-friendly toys, yes. But for older users not necessarily: https://teenage.engineering/products/po
How are these, are they worth the money? I have seen these before, but thought they might be crappy "jokes". However, if they are decent, I would love to play around with them.
