Máquina de música era falsa

O e-mail que nos chegou acerca de uma suposta máquina de música tal como suspeitavamos era mesmo falso, desde cedo que o grupo desconfiou da veracidade da notícia devido ás horas de trabalho.
Mais de 13 000 horas que pareceu logo um exagero, e após uma pesquisa descobrimos o site que apresentou o vídeo que é uma animação feito a partir de um programa , tudo isto pode se encontrar e até mais vídeos no site www.animusic.com .
No próprio site foi publicada uma notícia sobre a circulação do falso e-mail.
Aqui está a notícia :

The Real Scoop on the Hoax Email
In 2006 someone sent around an email about a "fantastic machine" (that was usually the subject line) that had a video clip attachment. Here's what the email said:


Check out this farm equipment. Read the information below before
clicking on the attachment.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between The
Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machines
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft Iowa, yes farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
Calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it
was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Of course it's not even remotely true. The video clip was from Animusic's "Pipe Dream" animation. But that didn't stop the email from spreading, in fact such hoax emails get passed along because they are questionable and many people enjoy the curiosity caused by inventive stories. There are whole web sites dedicated to hoaxes and urban legends, such as snopes.com, where you can read about this particular tale and many others.
