The Pianist Hand Concert: Thing goes to Juilliard - Engadget

Too much rock for one robotic hand.

if it is meant to be "follow-along-with", why make it clear?
Wow.

..they actually spelled Juilliard correctly.

Rare...

I could use one that plays violin.

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is an orchestral work, not a piano piece. Maybe pick one of the 32 piano sonatas to make your point?

Anyway, as an amateur pianist, I've got to get my hands on one of these hands. I want to put it on my piano while I'm practicing, and hope it doesn't strangle me when I hit a clunker.

What's the sound of one of these clapping?

-and if it happened in the woods, would anyone hear it?

Isn't that the hand from the old outer limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand"..

.? (my opinion the best outer limits EVER.

..)

ummm correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this part of the plot of Terminator 2 where "Anhnold" needed to distroy a cybernetic arm left from the previous T-800.

Is this the beginning of Skynet? I, for one, hope not.

I wonder if I could hack it to thumb wrestle with me.

..

$17?

For a robotic hand? Of my own? Sweet cripes, this is going way up on my christmas list.

It'll be a kickass companion to the wooden hand (and lower arm) I've already got. Speaking of which, this would be awesome for folks who've already got prosthetic hands. Pull off the "serious" prosthetic and stuff this one into your cuff for some delightufl laghs around the office.

Put a glove on it if you really wanna make your coworkers wonder for a second. Tell you got an appointment with Luke Skywalker's doctor, and he hooked you up with this. I, for one, welcome our Fifth Symphony playing robotic hand overlords.

I'm getting 2 of these and some gloves. I will be know and the greatest piano player, ever. No one would know, because of the gloves.

I'll make millions, die from alcohol poisoning. 5 years after my death, E! would do a True Hollywood Story on me and be ostricized by the music community.

Millions of dollars, here I come!!

Does "$17 device" mean it's available and actually costs $17?

I doubt it, but it'd be nice if it did.
