What better way to liven up your desk and keep children at bay, then to have this creepy robotic hand that mime plays classical piano. The various gears and levers inside the clear plastic skin allow the fingers to move precisely as if it were playing the piano while audio is played back. Enjoy the tunes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, or Choplin’s Minute Waltz. With a sound sensor, the device starts when you clap. I suppose this would make for good Halloween accent décor. Priced at $16.95.
