Big piano

The Walking Piano.

The Big piano (The Walking Piano) is a synthesizer, invented in 1976 by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, kinetic artist and inventor Remo Saraceni.[1] Merging dance, music, and play, it is played by the user's feet tapping the keys to make music. Versions of the piano have been installed in museums, children's hospitals, and other public places around the world.

The Big Piano is perhaps best known for its appearance in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie Big.[2][3]
