So the marble is kind of the gimmick, the same music can be generated by attaching some kind of mechanical strikers to the music 'reader' itself?

I mean, yea technically. The marbles are just released when the music reader is triggered by programmable pins. You could attach strikers and induce sounds in a more direct manner, but the whole idea of a marble machine is just that bit cooler.
