Based on the original Nintendo LABO Piano, this is a 100% paper pop-up piano that folds into a thin book.
This project was a lot of fun and challenging at the same time. I never thought I would be able to build in all the functions. Even though, it seems like a bit too much, bulky and maybe "over-engineered", the main goal of this project was to achieve a working keyboard and from there on, I got sucked into challenge after challenge and lots of problem-solving.
