Google Built a 'Monotune' Piano for It's Latest Android Ad [Video]

For its latest 'Be together. Not the same.' Android ad, Google built an 88 key monotune piano.

A piano has 88 keys. Each one is different. But what if they were all the same? To find out, we took apart a piano and reengineered it so that it only plays one note: Middle C. Be together. #NotTheSame

Take a look at the ad, and the making of, below.

Ha ha ha. You can't compare pianos to phones. There's a reason why everyone who switches from android to Apple stays on Apple and everyone who switches from Apple to android switches back to Apple... That's because you only need one note to make something beautiful.
