HOWTO turn a toy piano into a playable shirt

Here's an Instructable from Mikamika explaining how to rip apart an electric toy piano and wire it into a shirt, turning your chest into a playable instrument.

A Toy Piano embedded on a T-shirt. It has 8 keys from Do to Do (1 octave). You can play simple music by wearing the shirt and pushing the fabric button on the shirt. All the components from the toy piano (batteries, speaker, circuit board) are placed on the shirt and connected with poppers. All these hard components are detachable so that you can wash it if you wish.

I'd like to hear what it sounds like to get beat up for wearing this.

ah, but the possibilities of a costumed squad of circuitbending superheroes would appear endless in light of this.

PETER: I will then give it you soundly.

First Musician: What will you give us?

PETER: No money, on my faith, but the gleek; I will give you the minstrel.

First Musician: Then I will give you the serving-creature.

PETER: Then will I lay the serving-creature's dagger on your pate. I will carry no crotchets: I'll re you, I'll fa you; do you note me?

First Musician: An you re us and fa us, you note us.

Second Musician: Pray you, put up your dagger, and put out your wit.

Drinking coffee and reading comments is a hazard to my monitor.

This is even worse than that piano-harp thingy.

With this jacket, you can simultaneously be "Discs of Tron" and "The Guy Who Gets Beat Up First at the Rave"!
