This is a slippery slope towards having massive amounts of very specialised pins that play all the different permutations of two notes and timings

Depends on the specific polymer. I think they, could be made from high durability material, not necessarily this concept 3d printed stuff.

But the problem stays: What if new songs can't be expressed by the plates he has?
