Need to build a second one so the playback speed can be doubled.

Pretty cool, but does the wool actually have any reasoning other than looking cool? Is it on a timer, or does the wool have something to do with getting the notes to play? That's what I'd like to know. Still, pretty cool.

I know it:
they give power to all note blocks and when a glass comes it goes out and when a wool comes it go on.

Like so:

----| /----o


- Redstone
| Block
  nothing
/ Repeater
o Note block

see? when a block comes it goes on and when glass comes.

----U /----o
  
    /\
    |
     Red stone can give power to glass so the note block don't play.

U Glass


see? :D So you can change the wool blocks to anything that can have red stone power.

Redstone current cannot travel through glass, but it can travel through other blocks.

Place a door between 2 walls, and on one side, put a switch or run a current to a block that is touching the door, when you run current to the block, it can travel through and power the door.

The current doesn't actually go through the block, it [i]powers[/i] the block. Anything touching a powered block can be triggered. This creates the illusion that it is going through the block.

Glass cannot "hold" the current though. So a break is created when a glass block enters. Once wool is placed in the way, the wool becomes charged, so the touching note block is triggered.

Dangit. I wanted to be the first.
I had a similar idea (perhaps the same) a couple of days ago on the 3rd, I even made a sketch (quickly, so no judging on it's quality or my handwriting!): https://plus.google.com/103359532797878915218/posts/REjvRXmWNph#103359532797878915218/posts/REjvRXmWNph

Good job on getting it done first, however. I was going to cheat and wait until Wireless Redstone was updated to 1.7 so that the note blocks could be hidden in a house far away without having to dig huge tunnels.
