Mozartonomy
This piano is a box of memories. It records what you play, stores its data, and plays it back with the exact key movements, tempo, and pitch - allowing you to keep it forever.

As big classical music fans, we both always wondered how composers like Chopin or Liszt used to play the piano. However, because we were born in different lifetimes, we never had the opportunity to watch them play. Thus, Mozartonomy's piano records everything that a pianist plays and allows us to store it in a file. This is then played back so that we can see the exact movements that the pianist executed on the piano. This is a masterpiece that can be kept for life, and for others to still be able to see in the future.
Our piano consists of 12 keys (1 octave). Using buttons below each key, it senses what the user plays and records the time the buttons were pressed, as well as the times that the buttons were rest. All these data are stored into a file and played back. It is played back using 12 solenoids which drives each key, allowing the user to look at how those keys were individually pressed and how they were played. The sound of the piano was driven by a speaker.
We also enclosed the piano in a nice little box that was laser cut. It has record, play, and stop buttons which allows the user to intuitively perform these actions.
Our hope is to eventually scale this up to a full, 88-key working piano. :)
