Mooftronic Mini Electric Organ: Small and loud!
There is this sometimes annoying thing about little things and tiny people. They are small so you think that correspondingly they would speak in a soft and low tone which suits their overall appearance. Suddenly you find out that they are loud, perky and ca get really annoying. Of course, this is not to generalize and label them or to say that they are always that way. Their perkiness can be wonderful too. (In this time and age it is important to be ‘politically correct’, I guess) So we bring to you this tiny little music instrument that can still dish out some pretty good notes.
The Mooftronic Electric Organ measures just 3cm by 1cm and it built around a 24 pin integrated circuit holder. A small stylus is used to play 8 notes in just one octave in the key of C. As well as creating those 8 notes, it has a small antenna which makes crazy noises too when picking up interference from the speaker. To generate noises the miniature organ uses a 08M micro controller built by Picaxe. You can see how small it is for yourself in the picture especially when compared to human hand.
The device is both tiny and accurate and it is powered by a battery that is far larger than the device itself! It looks very raw, in the sense that it does not look like a product ready to hit the market. But I suppose it is still a very good alternative to the real instrument; at least in the case of space saving. The device might be an excellent toy and might also be fun when you are traveling without taking up much space. It sure can produce some fun notes on that long trip!
