(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nestlé Japan Ltd. ("Nestle") released a demonstration video of its unique "Pythagorean" musical instrument on Monday, December 12, 2016. The instrument serves as part of the NESCAFÉ GOLDBLEND BARISTA i COFFEE MOMENT ENSEMBLE, which is being held for a limited time from Friday, Dec. 2 to Sunday Dec. 25. The instrument name itself is derived from popular Japanese "Pythagorean" devices, which are more commonly known as Rube Goldberg machines in the US or Heath Robinson contraptions in the UK.
The Pythagorean instrument is designed as a massive coffee mug that measures roughly 3.5 m in height and 3 m in width. A wooden ball is released from the top into a staircase-shaped maze that plays Christmas songs as it rolls downwards striking the tuned xylophone steps on its way in a whimsical and entertaining display. The contraption consists of 180 xylophone keys and 1450 individual parts. Its construction required approximately five months and utilized laser machining as well as a number of other cutting-edge technologies.
Many customers have already been enjoying the Pythagorean instrument, which is part of the NESCAFÉ GOLDBLEND BARISTA i COFFEE MOMENT ENSEMBLE, a limited time Christmas event designed to inject even more interactive fun into Nestlé's concept of connecting people through coffee-time moments delivered by its NESCAFÉ GOLDBLEND BARISTA i ("BARISTA i"), a Bluetooth®1 capable coffee machine.
