A musical instrument that's always to hand - piano gloves

Musical Piano GlovesHave you ever been about to knock out yet another concerto, only to discover that there's no piano nearby?

I feel your pain my friend because I've been there too. On countless occasions.

Not any more though thanks to the latest in gloved gadgetry - Musical Finger Piano Gloves.

Slip them on, turn on the battery pack and your fingers become the keys of a piano. Start tapping those fingers and you're instantly transformed into Elton John (although better looking obviously).


Each one of your fingertips becomes a different note: C, D, E, F, G. When you press down the heel of the hand the other notes (A, B and C) are added, giving you a whole octave of notes!

Not only that you can change the sound from that of a piano to one of eight different instruments including a violin, music box, guitar and drum. So if being Elton John didn't quite conjure up a positive image in your mind's eye, you could be Nigel Kennedy instead (although, again, better looking obviously).

The Musical Fingers Piano Gloves also play ten different demo songs and 30 different background rhythms to play to. Plus you get an instruction booklet with easy sheet music at the back to get your musical career off to a flying start.

The battery pack has a loud speaker, volume, tempo, demo, rhythm and tone buttons, and a belt clip so that you can take your musical talent with you wherever you happen to be going (I'm guessing here, but the top of the charts will no doubt be one destination given your talent and good looks).

More good news. The batteries are rechargeable via the supplied USB lead.

The Musical Fingers Piano Gloves are available for £49.99 from Find Me A Gift. You know you want a pair.
