Put your air guitar away -- Piano Hands has the stage

For all you OCD desk tappers out there, I Want One Of Those is offering up -- ta da -- Piano Hands. These electronic gloves with built-in sensors at the fingertips emulate musical notes upon tapping any flat surface. With eight different instruments to choose from, we can't think of a better way to be endlessly annoying on elevators, airplanes, trains and other cramped enclosed spaces -- assuming you can find a place to plug in your Marshall Stack. Pick up your ticket to stardom for just £49.99 ($92) from IWOOT. No word yet on a release date.

Guitar version of this and I might be mildly interested.

That's the Air Guitar version of this.

And there's the drum set.

Who else is up for some band practice?

[Shinigami @ Sep 25th 2008 7:08AM]

Wireless please.

[Jason Litka @ Sep 25th 2008 11:02AM]

Seriously. If these were wireless I'd buy them. I've got a trip coming up and I'd love to play the piano on the dash of my rental when it's not my turn to drive. :)

[Hellaphunt @ Sep 25th 2008 12:30PM]

Could you imagine how awesome these would be if wireless? Everything I do would be with these gloves on.

[Gandalf @ Sep 25th 2008 3:30PM]

If these were wireless, I can see Michael Jackson buying a pair and touring the country with them, along with his face mask.

[White @ Sep 25th 2008 7:13AM]

Jazz hands!

[fred @ Sep 25th 2008 7:31AM]

And.......Spirit Fingers!

[Mile @ Sep 25th 2008 7:25AM]

Play us a song, yo piano hands!
Play us a song tonight
For we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

[Amz @ Sep 25th 2008 7:36AM]

If only I knew how to play an instrument, haha

[compufxr @ Oct 16th 2008 9:42AM]

You already do - the male organ...

[noyp @ Sep 25th 2008 8:13AM]

You don't have to. Improv!

[Amz @ Sep 25th 2008 8:21AM]

but it'll only sound like I'm improvising on a real instrument, and that's not good at all!!!

plus I'm sure i'll always revert back to playing "Mary had a little lamb" :(

[tekdroid @ Sep 25th 2008 7:43AM]

Won't you take me to...funkytown. Won't you take me to...funkytown.

[Freakin Ijit @ Sep 25th 2008 7:43AM]

10 notes?

[Larry Kleinmintz @ Sep 25th 2008 8:08AM]

Drummin" Yeah!

[Amz @ Sep 25th 2008 8:23AM]

see, now that'd be awesome.

though I guess it'll just be the same as tapping your fingers on nearby objects - just more radical.

[frankXchange @ Sep 25th 2008 8:13AM]

I have the matching tie.

Wow, another musical instrument I can spend a lot of time learning not to play. But think of all those points!

[dervheid @ Sep 25th 2008 8:17AM]

IWOOT
Should be IDWOOT!

[iwoot @ Sep 25th 2008 8:18AM]

The Piano Hand will be online in October.

[Taylor @ Sep 25th 2008 9:06AM]

As a piano player, when I'm waiting for something i seem to compulsively play piano on tables, chairs, my legs, etc.

It irritates other people to no end... because to them it's just rhythmic tapping.

That's why this is awesome.

[MM @ Sep 25th 2008 9:26AM]

Now if only they can get MIDI keyboards to play on Rock Band. I'm a huge fan of a little-known arcade game called Keyboard Haven.

[dWag88 @ Sep 25th 2008 2:13PM]

Am I the only one who put Piano Hands in place of Banana Phone when first reading this?
Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Piano Hands!

[Jennypen @ Sep 25th 2008 2:16PM]

Um, Marillion have had a set of these for over 15 years...

See??

[ICGenie @ Sep 25th 2008 3:27PM]

Gah - Marillion were there nearly 20 years ago!!!

[S T Underwood @ Sep 25th 2008 5:14PM]

It certainly put's a new spin on "Jazz Hands"...

[tatas @ Sep 25th 2008 6:09PM]

That guy should not be a hand model...

[mattkenny @ Sep 26th 2008 3:12AM]

Too bad that any song that's more complicated than "Mary Had A Little Lamb" needs more than 10 fixed notes...

[fernando... @ Sep 30th 2008 8:22PM]

...jerking off in these....would be music to my ears!!
