Title: Awesome inventions Post by: Yuko-san on April 30, 2011, 02:24:13 PM So I'm sure we've all browsed the web and at one point or another came upon an object that we thought was pretty cool. New modern inventions meant to help or heal people, or where just plain awesome. Well why not post it here and discuss them?
Today I found a new version of the piano, the Whale-tone as it's called. Think of your average grand piano, now make it look curvy, sleek and technoy and you get the whale-tone (http://www.neatorama.com/2011/04/27/the-whaletone/). While it's only in concept stage I'd like to think that in maybe 20 years this could actually be bought. While the makers reasons for calling it the whale tone seem weird, and indeed basing a piano on a whale is definitely strange, the design is pretty darn cool. I wouldn't mind having that in my front room one bit. So what do you all think? Title: Re: Awesome inventions Post by: The Final Negotiator on June 30, 2011, 12:53:33 AM ^^^^
