Grotrian Piano Toy - Crazy experimental piano toy - give it a try


Grotrian Pianos is a very groovy musical toy – and a little bit crazy at that. You start off by choosing your composition. There are 4 to try…Beethoven, Satie and Loh and their own mad piece (the game is made by an old skool piano making company). Once you have chosen then the fun begins.

You are given an abstract board of moving squares that allow you to manipulate the tune in lots of trippy ways. It is a little hard to describe with no musical vocabulary, but you basically move the squares around in different ways to distort the composition to your liking. You can also choose the tone, rhythm and tempo of your masterpiece.

Just like many of the toys featured on this site, it is difficult to explain….you need to experience it.
