Yes, but the real question is whether a team of young scientists have employed embedded systems to turn him in time to the Flight above?
There another one of these a couple years ago with a bass clarinet, and I thought the bass clarinet was performed better.

I don't understand at all from the video how the tone is being produced. Any clues there?

There's an airbox on the mouthpiece visible in one section of the movie. Nothing spectacular there ...

Excellent Mark!
Can I get one to sub for me at WICKED on Broadway. The CD sitting on my chair, when I'm out, just doesn't cut it with that kind of technology around.
Just kidding, but very impressive, thank!
Be well,

Cool. I'm wondering if with a lot of programming it would be possible to make it sound as good as or close to a real player (plus all the mechanical noise).

There are several legends that speculate how man would do in a contest with a machine, e.g., John Henry and Paul Bunyan. How about a real-life contest between Robert Spring and the machine to see who could play "Flight of the Bumblebee" faster?
On the other hand, things didn't turn out so well for the humans in those legends, did they? Particularly John Henry. Maybe not such a good idea, after all. 
Best regards,

Kasparov vs. Deep Blue is the one I remember most, but some people claimed Deep Blue had human help! But I'm wondering to what level they can make it. Although no matter how good it will sound, what you hear from the computer is just the performance, the ideas of how it would sound are of the programmer (which I guess is also a musician, or if not, a musician who works with them?).

I think it would take much, much more than just programming. We humans take in and process a lot more sensory information (through sense of touch and hearing) than a simple robot like this can--we tend to take that for granted.

While it's not my cup of tea, I do understand why they did it as, I too, am a scientist. They did it because they could. Because the opportunity was there. It's like climbing K2.
