Blu is a modern musical instrument that draws inspiration from the keyboard, re-imagining keys in a modular and flexible way. Much in the same way a child learns to build structures from toy blocks, they can learn to understand tonality and song composition simply by changing the position of the modular keys around the central unit to control pitch and timing of the notes. Its smart, colorful user interface makes learning music an exciting and memorable experience.

I’m afraid I don’t quite understand this concept. Can anyone explain?
right there with Jimmy.
This is a little too abstract to understand and conceptualize in the minds eye.
This project ain’t gonna happen.
It’s a redesigned theremin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin). Cool idea.
Love this. This is really cool.
It would also be interesting to actually have a children’s version of this, to introduce them to music in a unique way.
But, I personally would love this product as it is.
How similar is Blu to the Yamaha YPG-235 for example?
