Piano Doorbell Turns the FedEx Guy Into a Virtuoso

By Sean Fallon on August 9, 2008 at 7:50 AM

Musical doorbells are annoying enough, but what if you gave your visitors the freedom to express themselves creatively? That’s exactly what designer Li Jian had in mind when he came up with the Pianobell. Unless you are friends with a lot of talented musicians, I don’t see much of an upside here. On the other hand, it could be amusing to torture your FedEx guy with a bizarre form of performance anxiety. Fortunately for him, the Pianobell is only a concept at this point.

    I built one of these a few years back for my house, it had a few more keys thought, worked great for distinguishing who was at the the door. But in the end it was to big a temptation for the drunk and carefree stumbling past the house at three in the morning who just had to see if they could still play marry had a little lamb. So i removed it.
