NEW YORK, NY – A Lego fan and artist has built a cello completely out of Lego bricks, and it even plays!
Nathan Sawaya is a New York City-based artist who specializes in creating large works entirely out of Legos. He rediscovered his love for the childhood toy after college, and began a career building strange things with the blocks, including a giant pencil, the Statue of Liberty with a lightsaber and even Mount Rushmore!
Now, Sawaya has taken his craft one step further, by not only creating a life-sized cello, but one that will play, although it does sound different.
Check out the video below of him building it:
Plastic is -not- a tonewood!
So?! Lego is freaking awesome!!! Kudos to this genius!

I want to thank you for this informative read, I actually appreciate sharing this good post. Maintain up your work.
….stupid use of Legos or not, he's getting paid big bucks for his so-called idiocy, can you say the same? Art comes in many guises, you probably don't know what art is even if it bit you in the ass.
