At 2:34, that sound panned right. How on earth is this done? Is this a synth, or some sort of amped sample, or something else?

To me it sounds like a prepared piano.
But you could ask it in the comments of the video, maybe the creators will reply...

[whyterabbyt]

are you asking how they did do it, or how someone else could do it?

for the latter, i'd start with the 'ruler on a desk' (*)
