A piano can produce beautiful music if you know how to play it, but what if you could see the music as well as hear it? This idea presented a challenge for the guys at HTX Studio (previously at Neatorama), and they spent three years making it happen. In this video, we get to see the many ideas that didn't work, which are all pretty cool anyway. With every failure, the challenge became more important, and that's why they persevered to the end.
The one guy with the dream (I wish we knew his name) also explains why the project meant so much. There is a great joy in seeing an idea successfully brought to life, especially if the one making it happen is you. That joy is there even when you didn't have to invent everything along the way. In that respect, we also have to admire his dedication to learning to play piano in those three years, in order to do the magic piano justice. The result is not only a fascinating musical instrument, but also beautiful music and an astonishingly high-quality DIY video.
