This fully functional Nintendo Labo piano folds out of a pop-up book #MusicMonday #NintendoLabo #NintedoSwitch @PaperPaul
YouTuber PaperPaul shared this incredible LABO music project. Via the Verge:
A Dutch “paper engineer” has managed to squeeze all of the functionality of the Nintendo Labo cardboard piano into a pop-up book. The pop-up piano, which uses a Joy-Con controller to control the companion Nintendo Switch game, includes a full set of 13 keys, an overdrive button, and the ability to change between multiple effects by inserting different effects keys. You can even prop the piano’s lid open using a small cardboard arm.
Jean-Paul Leconte’s creation does all of this, while handily avoiding one of Labo’s greatest flaws, which is that once you’ve assembled all of your kits, you’re left with a house that’s filled to the brim with bulky cardboard creations. In contrast, this cardboard piano folds down into a book that’s no bigger than a typical hardback.
