Music Thing: Live from the Tenori On launch in London

5.9.07

Well, I wasn't the Tenori On launch last night (babies!) but fortunately many people with YouTube accounts were. There's this interview with Toshio Iwai and a demo from Yamaha's Peter Peck here, and here's Toshio Iwai jamming on his music box. Over at Create Digital Music, Peter has been going a great job covering the Tenori On saga, as has Chris at Pixel Sumo, reporting a UK launch price of £599, which seems hella expensive, but - at this stage - the Tenori is a boutique, hand-made product. I'm sure if it takes off, they'll be churning them out in China for £69.99...
UPDATE: More interesting video from Sonic State.

Hope this is not considered to be spam, but we have part one of a session we shot with Yu Nishibori (producer and bloke who put the Tenori-On together) right here:

I think £599 sounds pretty cool - isn't this thing made out of magnesium?! I want it, where can I get one in the UK?
