Really like this, it's so simple but sometimes that's all you need, all I thought it needed is a hold function to drag along the notes.

Great port of the classic toy! I’m pretty sure I had at least one of these as a child, so I especially love the hand and mallet. I also wish that holding down the mouse would play notes as you drag, maybe with a slightly different sound. That would complete the experience for me. Nice work!

Project EphemeraVery fun little project! Using actual photos and an actual hammer (is that what that's called? ahah) is some very nice skeuomorphism (yeah I just wanted to use a fancy word).
I noticed the notes had a pretty long delay between when I clicked and when the sound played, but switching from my laptop to my desktop to check fixed it, so it might just be a problem with my laptop being slow.

OTS-01Thank you for comment.
To be honest I had to google what the hell is "skeuomorphism" 😀 Now I know it
I also tested the performance on my Raspberry Pi 4B and you are right. It has some delay during the playing. The web page performance was a little bit poor thanks to the embedded videos. I replaced these with simple links to improve the site performance. I think that caused the performance issue.
Love the hand/beater interface thing! :) Does what it says on the tin. Would be nice if it did that thing I usually do because I can't play my 'glockenspiel' (Apparently xylophone is the wooden one, but I call my metal one a xylophone anyway) where you hold down the beater and move left and right to make a dream flashback sound.
