Ok, hands up guys; when you were in high school, how many of you played the famous 'chopsticks' tune on the keyboard in music class? Quite a few I'm guessing! I have to say, I had more talent. Yep. It was the Simpsons Theme Tune for me.
No seriously, I was actually quite good and a couple of years ago, I treated myself to a fabulously expensive keyboard. Unfortunately, after the initial phase of excitement, due to lack of room, it only managed to emerge from storage on a few occasions. So after spending one night on Ebay, my beloved keyboard found a new home.
If you love to make music but you're on a budget or struggle for space, then Piano Hands may be up your street.
Piano Hands are a pair of gloves, sporting an oh-so-fashionable piano theme that allows you to play the piano anywhere. Well actually, piano, organ, violin, trumpet, mandolin, music box, guitar and drums to be precise. The gloves contain sensors on each fingertip that trigger different musical notes. To shift up an octave, simply press down the heel of your hand on the surface that you're playing on.
Piano Hands has 30 different rhythms for you to play along to and features built-in speakers and adjustable tempo control. The gloves are easily charged via a USB port.
Piano Hands feature thirty different rhythms, includes ten demo songs and a feature to help you learn. I doubt they'll turn you into an accomplished musician, but you'll sure have fun anyway.
Available for pre-order at IWOOT, Piano Hands will set you back £49.99
