And a row of LEDs. And capacitors that last as long as the longest track so you crank it up in about 1/20 of the duration and don’t have to keep turning.
It’s the lowest-tech device that can do this with sufficiently low running costs to make it free to use. Much better than the more common infrastructure of QR codes and a server of audio files (or worse, app!)
And there are hiking trails with information panels that have this technology (the button switches narration languages or bonus tracks) for accessibility to the visually impaired built into the post. It does not need to be this big but the tall-human-sized bent pipe is an artwork by itself.
Really neat. Too much tech for me but I appreciate the whimsy
a hand crank speaker is too much tech for you and youre posting on social media?
It’s a hand-crank speaker with a button!
