Working LEGO piano build goes viral

In the past few days, a working LEGO piano has taken the Internet by storm.

A LEGO builder has constructed a working piano, that can be combined with Power Functions for an impressive moving display piece. SleepyCow has submitted the project to LEGO Ideas and seems to be having success, with the product idea heading towards the requisite support. To vote for the product idea, head over to the LEGO Ideas website and log in.

While it doesn’t play music, the build does include a removable keyboard with 25 independent working keys, working damper and pedal function and a realistic piano lid which can be open either half stick or full stick.

The model is based on a Concert Grand Piano and uses 2,798 pieces. One of the builder’s intentions when building the model was to have something physical to demonstrate to children how the inner mechanisms in a piano operate.
