Maltese Fulcrum: The largest human-powered Accordian on wheels

Music is a strong force, and mesmerizing. When the tones come from a huge 3500lb Accordian, things get more interesting. This Accordian has been built on two Suzuki Samurai front axles, and can move at 5mph on the land. The website mentions that the accordion can move over water at the speed of 5 knots, and this just makes it more awesome… kind of poetic, music on the waves!

There’s a face at the front, with teeth replaced by keys, and these keys can actually be played. The machine needs eight people to power it, but with melodies in the air, we don’t think that would be much of an effort.
