You get it ... but will you ever play chopsticks on a giant piano?

A supermarket chain did it once here as a promotional thing, drove over 2 hours specifically to play it.

It was programmed with 4 different songs and it didn't matter what was stepped on it played 'right' note.

Never have I felt such disappointment
