If you’re preparing to dazzle an audience with a beautiful concerto, you best prepare your ensemble with a Raspberry Pi Pico-powered paper piano.

We created something similar before except instead of using a piece of paper to register user input, our associate editor Les Pounder used a banana to control a Pico.
