Do-re-mi-so-la

Do-re-mi-so-la

Some say that the white keys tell joy while black keys express sorrow.
Many people are fond of the texture of a piano, but hold themselves back at the sight of the small black keys which sit in between the larger white keys along with the keyboard. Thus, after years of planning, Marvin Minto Fang carried out his unique vision and employed the western pentatonic-scale piano with white keys only as the instrument that plays the melody in the ancient Chinese musical notations, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi and Yu. With this visionary musical invention, everyone can play an opus of their own on this piano smoothly.

Material:Piano components
