I can't wait to hear it! In fact, what I REALLY want to do is to play it :)
Short of that, it'll be interesting to see what sort of setup he's got in
the piano. The tensile forces of the strings are fairly extreme and to
stabilize it with legos must be hard. Then again, I've learned not to doubt
the ability and limit of legos. I hope he does write a score for it...would
be fitting for the lego piano (harpsichord) to be christened by a lego
score. I wonder if there's a Lego theme song..or an AFOL theme song :)
On a similar note (to big insane constructions) how's your SuperMech coming
along? I also can't wait to see the end result of THAT masterpiece... With
the cameras and all those RCX's, I can see some awesome programs
possible...like tracking passerbys and waving to them...or shaking their
hand and such. Not that the thing itself wouldn't be cool enough :)

| Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm building a harpsichord, not a piano. (The harpsichord is a predecessor to the piano). The tension of the 61 strings on my LEGO harpsichord is about 325 lbs. The tension of over 200 strings on a piano is about (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
