Musical Vents

Did anyone ever make radiator vents that play a musical tune when air comes out? I know this would be really annoying, but I was curious.

    Did one as a kid. Was themed after the disney movie Dumbo of all things. When the train leaves the station in the movie and the KC Jones song starts playing. Wasn't for practical use, that is if practical can even be done with it. Dad didn't like the steam use so had to use air.
    I'm sure it can be done.

    @Intplm. I'm really interested to know how you did this. Could you explain in more detail?

    Pipes cut much like a pipe organ pipes. Notch holes cut in the pipes making different notes. Larger diameter to smaller diameter. There wasn't much control and was not very elaborate. I did this in my early teens. (that was a very long time ago).
    I Suppose something like this could be done with different types of vents with valves serving each vent. Nothing automatic that I can think of.

    Half inch pipe was used.
