It’s the brainchild of\u00a0David Rauch (who you can see in this\u00a0video<\/a>) and his\u00a0OpenPianoYEG project<\/a>. The special thing about this piano is that it’s connected to the internet. The piano has a Raspberry Pi embedded into it which records the public playing music, converts it to MP3 and then uploads it, tweeting to the\u00a0@OpenPianoYEG twitter account<\/a>.
