New Invention - Self-Tuning Piano System

[allthumbs]

Greetings

Well, something I thought about years ago that would be a great idea that is finally here.

An inventor in Kansas, who is a mechanical engineer and classically trained pianist, has invented a system to keep a piano in tune with the press of a button.

Check out the link below and while the explanation of how it all works is a little hard to follow at times, there is a short video at the end that demonstrates how it works.

I'm not sure I want to give my piano the ability to electrocute me.  I suspect I sometimes give it cause to use it.

Did anyone understand how the pitch could be raised? I get electricity through the strings -> warms them -> lowers the pitch, but how'd you raise it?

what's this world coming to!? next thing you know we'll be having pianos that play themselves?
oh wait....

what wizardry is this!?! come out of there ghost of the piano, be gone and haunt the instrument no more!

RATS!  I just enrolled in a piano tuning course.

Oh well, back to being an economist, I guess...

I won't hold my breath waiting for this invention to see the light of day.
