We live in an age where combining music, software, and signal processing can let you do some amazing things. I can imagine a high-fidelity simulation of this instrument's timbre before it's ever built, by using the mechanical CAD model to produce an acoustic model, and then modeling the response of the wood to an incident acoustic wave.
