Viola Organista

Leonardo DaVinci spent some time designing a musical instrument. He never did produce the instrument. Many people have tried. One has succeeded, at least he said he has and has actually played the instrument, which is a cross between a harpsichord and a cello; he calls it the Viola Organista. The man who has done this is a Polish pianist Slawomir Zubrzycki. He spent four years at the task. The result is heard in the video below.
