Seems like a design flaw that you can only play it with one hand.

I’m calling shenanigans. It’d be far easier to fake this with a dubbed audio track and some prop wires, than to make it work for real. And if it were a real setup, they would have played some kind of tune, because that’s what hackers do.

It’s real! He used a Makey Makey! You can use our little invention kit to connect real world objects to your computer. Sausage pianos are only the beginning!

Great to see people using Makey Makey all over the world! You can make pianos, build switches, learn to code. Check out our webpage makeymakeycom to see more projects you can build with everyday stuff!

Part of the trick is you have to touch some questionable device in a metal box with an un-grounded power cord.

You know… I bet they could do this same thing using bananas… I would stop and look at that thing for sure!

Because with beer cans you can build some other instruments…

I was thinking along the lines of “Die wohlhärtete Würsteklavier”

Which I think should mean the “well-cured sausage-clavier” but my German isn’t the best
