best watch for ultra runners image

For science olympiad I'm going to try to create a keyboard that can play musical notes.
I don't need a process I'm coming up with that on my own but a basic idea would be very helpful.
thankyou
Answer
Buy? Coo, somebody's got money for a science fair project.
You can make all sorts of pianos entirely free.
And violins, xylophones, guitars, robotic drums......
A hammer hits a string and produces vibrations. A soundboard magnifies the sound of it to a suitable level.
Keys are connected to the hammers via levers to control which hammer gets to hit a string.
The character of the strings can be modified by pedals to increase or decrease the softness or loudness of the sound if you like but then it's a pianoforte.
The word piano means...soft...denoted 'p' on music scores
The word forte means ...loud...denoted 'f' on music scores
Very soft is ppp. Very loud is fff
Very confused is pffp and very hard to play in one short note haha
A pianoforte is a soft/loud hammered strings keyboard thingy that goes soft or loud.
That's it.
Materials
Bundles of wood from skips.. thick for the frames, thinner for keys and levers
Loads of wires of various thicknnesses, and/or nylon or polypropylene for ultra soft pppppp sounds and metal strips for hard harsh ffff sounds if you use metal plates on the hammers, or soft cozy sounds if you put cloth or sponge pads on them
Lengths of plastic like nylon curtain runners or square ducting about half an inch wide to saw into short lengths for the keys.
Nuts, bolts, screws, glue
Scrounge those. Soon get a collection of them.

The law and the new TV sets?
Benjamin W
The FCC has decided that a good, working TV will be obsolete, and we all have to buy new sets. Ok...I may be in the minority, but I don't care much for super life like images...I'd rather go into real life and see it.
For those who do want an ultra crisp picture, let them get that new set, but don't force the rest of us to.
I compare this to radio. I've had very old radios that still would work today using today's signals. There co-exists satellite radio on another bandwidth for higher quality programs, that those ppl who want it can pay for.
Again, why, are we being forced to buy a new TV set, if what we have isn't broken, and if the individual doesn't want a newer TV.
I smell a rat here, and wanna know what's REALLY going on.
Answer
When I recently purchased an HD flat screen I was plesantly surprised to noticed a few more channels that I don not get on the other sets in our house, (easy to determine as we only use anteane), subsequently, by their use of the word obsolete, doesn't mean older models will quit working. Its just that the stations availiable will continue to be minimal, and decreasing in numbers, as the numbers of people who own newer models grow. This is as inevitable as the sales of 8 track tapes gave way to, cassettes, gave way to disc, now giving way to many new pocket sized uploadable microchip data storage. As the technology increases, also does the market and competition, to make better and cheaper, which just eventually bleeds over to even the most frugal of consumer. Imagine how much was paid for the first digital watches that can now be found in gumball machines, (and thats with separate time zones, games, and other added features) As for the "rat" theory, I think its only logical to assume, that there are information gathering technologies involved, in these everyday items. There will always be the "weak can't compete so cheat" , "save all the best jobs for OUR separate faction favoritism gang" which rapes the "all men are created equal concept" and the "Team Human populate the Universe" ideology, we will either evolve toward, or become extinct. We won't get a better container to land in if we destroy this one. We will be looking out the eyeballs of an insect, remembering all the times we were human and did nothing to make it better...and would trade a million years of bug servitude (carrying bug sh!ts back and forth) for just one day in the life of a human you may now think you dispise. Obviously government will have higher levels of technology than an ordinary citizen, but who gets to make these determinations.... of who is allowed knowledge, and is able to be on the "GET" side of corruption, and who is labeled "slave class". It really won't matter though, because soon enough of us will evolve to see all forms of separtatists hoarding as the tatle tale signs of the weak and cowardly. In the Olympics do they saw off 2 feet of the stick of the best pole vaulter? or strap lead weights on the fastest runners? The fairness concept is one of honor to those who deserve their rightful place, by the standard of working harder, learning more, because they simply cared enough to make some contribution, and would rather turn down some easy money scam, than give up their integrity of "being". This sense of loyalty to all others equally, is the all inclusive gift within realization of existence experience, that those who are flippant and sneaky, are only of the pathetic class who the higher evolved will always feel sorry for, no matter how much luxury they flaunt. This does not imply that all those who have a decent level of comforts are necessarily negative function, some are just better with money., but all this is probably more for a society, humanity, thread...sorry if I prattled on a bit.
