Great sound clip on that, Ollie!  Although I think it should have been tuned in a more appropriate temperament...

Here's an unplayable prototype:

No, I'm not a complete idiot. I'm only a halfwit. In fact I'm actually a catfish.

"This limited edition Hello Kitty Grand Pianist is a fully functional but very tiny grand piano, standing 18cm in height and 25cm in width. It is similarly equipped with 88 keys, but with each key measuring only 4mm in width. Apparently, it can still be operated properly by hand, but 100 classical, jazz and pop tunes are stored in its memory to entertain you on its own."
