If I'm really hungry, that song's going to be missing
some notes. |
|

this idea is awesome but I think it should dispense
the candy strips via pull tab and play music as the
strip leaves the piano. I'm not sure how you could
deal with the fact that a tune needs more notes than
a child should be eating at once. Perhaps only the
first few notes? And make sure the notes are in
actual musical notation so it can be billed as an
educational toy |

The problem with actual musical notation is that you'd need
to have 9 pieces of candy in each row, for the spaces and bars
of the staff. Now *that*'s a whole lot of candy! |

it's even worse than that, because according to
the description, the notes that AREN'T needed for
the song would need pulling off, and there would
be more of them! this idea is closer to a music
box.
a real player piano works by blowing air through
holes, like a harmonica, but all at once, and the
tone only comes out where the holes are.
how about a player piano that uses perforated
fruit roll-ups? |

That's a nice piece of research, [pocmloc]. |
|

[pocmloc] wow, that is interesting, those little
things were quite ornate too.
air conditioning wasn't around much, if at all.
those records must of really melted in summer. |
