New Gear for Music Geeks III

Monday

10Sep

It's time for the next installment of one of our semi-regular features, New Gear for Music Geeks. As I've mentioned before, while I can't often afford to purchase them, I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting ways that modern technology can improve our ability to enjoy music. Sometimes I don't find them, but I find some other interesting reference to music mixed with technology, or maybe an insane home-made project. Here is the latest collection of music geek gear:

A gramophone-style MP3 player, made for portable use
A cell-phone piano (see above), made to actually dial while you play the tones
A computer case built from a drum, built by Spotswood Custom Computers
A one-off double keyboard piano from Steinway (with video)
A condenser mic built in a tin can for you MAKE fans

Enjoy the gear! Anything you'd like to see covered here? Let me know -- post some comments.
