He needs to mass-produce this and sell it to the world. He'd make millions.

I'd buy that if I had insane mounts of money and could already play piano.

Close enough. I imagine it would be easy to switch from piano to organ.

Only difference is you need to move your hand up a few inches. And this is impressive that he made it himself, but this isn't a rare product. They sell a MIDI keyboard for around 100 dollars, but I'm not sure if it can put a different sound effect on the left side than the right side :\

Yeah, I've got an awful ancient keyboard and even that has split. Just find a nice 8-bit-y sound and you're good to go.

I was expecting it to be made from a robotic heart or something.

I would buy this, if I had enough money.

He ruined a perfectly good organ.

Still, it's really amazing how this guy basically remade this thing in such a way that you could essentially emulate any 8bit music.

Serious memories from playing old GB games, GBC, and my childhood in general here.

Although the organ didn't have all the keys, so I really don't care.

He played this song, I never heard it before. One of my favorite 8-bit songs now
