I think it's a fabulous idea, but they could have arranged a print job that would have played something closer to real music, so that part was disappointing, although with suck only (or blow only) they were fatally limited in what they could do. I think maybe with two identical sets of equipment and the harps set one for suck one for blow, they could have got a tune of some kind.

Think that harp needs a bit of embossing and gapping action.
Something I'd like to see is, someone create a chilum-harp hybrid. That would be really cool. It wouldn't really matter too much what you were playing. Anybody fancy a chug on something like that? ----------
First, it's already been done about a hundred years ago: http://www.polygraphlounge.com/show.html?37
Second, Kudzu is correct about the fifty glissandos... but if you recall the first telephone conversation was in 1876, Bell saying "Watson, come here" or whatever. But the first time Bell talked on the phone was two years earlier, but it all sounded like a bunch of bullcrap and the the other dude couldn't figure out what the hell Bell was saying. This "music" likewise sounds like bullcrap.
But, there is promise for some genius kid to pull off for the hell of it, or for some science fair. To make this work, you'd have to have all notes on draw. A Polyphonia No. 5, I think would fit that requirement. Then, you'd have to write the computer program to make it work.
