Concert Hands Teaches Piano with Wrist Straps and Electrical Zaps

I have a theory that this might work... save me years of hard work!!!!

The Concert Hands system teaches you piano (or keyboard) using a 10-finger feedback system that gently pulses when you should play, coupled with an automated wrist pilot that guides you across octaves.

HA!

I actually have this one. It is about 10ft from me as I write! Mom started me on a collection of piano miniatures when I was about 12. She died when I was about 22 so I especially cherish them all.

I'd love to arrange a huge world trip and catalogue the pianos and stories to the full extent and publish the whole lot as a book, DVD and website, but seriously it would cost a bit, but it is an accident waiting to happen, just $$ preventing it:-)

Vera Lynn played the piano to her daughter Virginia in her London flat in 1948.
Seventy years after she first stepped into a recording studio, Lynn, 92, is at the top of Britain’s album chart. (Matthew Fearn/ AP/ Pool)

What a great project that would be!

I always thought that just gathering pics and interviews of the current piano mfgs would be a nice presentation and catalog for the future.
