(...) It escapes me at the moment just what kind of parts are "airplane parts". Since you are posting in lugnet.technic, I guess that you are not refering to black wing shaped plates.

I think this is an understatement. I think it would be a huge challenge to build something strong enough. A piano key, however, would be a really cool project.

Hmmm. I imagine a piano action wouldn't be out of the question, either. The main problem I can see is with the strings - if you're looking at 4 octaves, thats 48 fairly tight strings, which is going to put a fair bit of strain on whatever base you (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Has anyone made a musical instrument out of Lego? I've searched around and I haven't seen anything. I'm not sure what sort could be made.
