I know musical toys can get pretty annoying for parents, but I’m willing to bet this ‘Original Sound Track’ toy designed by Ricardo Seola would appeal to kids and adults alike. It’s composed of a wooden modular track system covered in strategically positioned bumps, and a wind-up vehicle that features a miniature harp, like those used in music boxes, on the front. As the car rolls around the track, the metal teeth on the harp hit the bumps and every layout produces a unique musical composition.
I’ve included a video of it ‘in action’ after the jump, but since it’s still a design concept that’s hopefully moving into production, the whole thing is a bit rendery. But you get a good idea of how it works.

I hope this goes into production. It's so clever!
Just like olden times.
Wow, this is so cute and I don't see why any parent wouldn't want this for their kids. It doesn't look like it would cost too much to make either.
