Don't give me a reason to buy a bunch of Mercury props. You know I have this weakness. 

Wonder if OMC props make music.

       I was a bit skeptical at first that props would make such tones, figuring the simply laid down an audio track later, but watching the behind the scenes video proved that they went through plenty of props before assigning notes.   Pretty cool, and fitting for the season.   Thanks for sharing.    Now I wonder if a pile of busted SS props could make similar sounds...........

"we may now see mercury pianos, drums, and chimes ---- yamaha has a new rival in the music market"

One of the comments from the prop chime site.
