Musical Stairs make climbing stairs fun
Odenplan is a plaza located in the district Vasastaden in central Stockholm, Sweden, named after the old Norse god Oden. Odenplan is also the name of the subway station located here which opened in 1952. Construction work which began in 2006 and soon to be completed in 2011 will make Odenplan one of Stockholm’s largest public transportation hubs.
The stairs in this photo is located at Odenplan metro station. The stairs were built to test the theory of fun. Every step on the stairs produces a corresponding piano note tune, and passengers are observed to be having fun climbing up and down the stairs producing piano. Here is a video showing the response to the Odenplan piano stairs.

Well at least someone is getting an exercise and having fun at the same time. Have you play with it yet? I wish I am there. Too far across the oceans tho.

online piano course are also more affordable. Considering the price of gas right now, the thought of sending the kids to the piano instructor's house two or three times every week sends shudders up my spine.
