Yamaha and Fabian Cappello teamed up to deliver this modified typewriter, which has each key wired to play a different musical note as you type. The end result is a sentence that also plays out as a melody.
Aside from standing on its own as a neat piece of DIY tech, the idea of visualizing words and sentences as music is kind of mind-bending. Think of it the other way--what does the melody to Beethoven's 9th Symphony look like in words?

cool invention how much does it cost
I can't wait to see the computer keyboard version! It is not just a dream any more... I am so excited about this great invention!
It's already possible on the keyboard. Just find and download "KeyBored." It has a variety of different instrument styles so you can easily record and play a masterpiece or a cute ditty. I really like using the windpipes and helicopter sound sets.
Its a nice stuff what a gr8 discover. I want to bought this musical typewriter i'm so excited.

But what if you're typing something that has a horrible melody? It sounds fun but I don't see much benefit to having a musical typewriter.
