Miracle Piano Teaching System, Rare Pal game?

[Gamester81]

Cool pickup man. Yeah I'm sure it is rare on PAL, it's rare on in the US too. The piano is a really cool add on.

[Lorfarius]

It's a pretty good idea shame it seemed to die a death on the NES with no follow up.

[PhatPhunk]

Cool find man.. Gamester81 did a review of the actual piano.. and I think it's sweet! It's a life-sized piano unlike the tiny famicom version I had which was intended for kids :P The famicom version, although does trigger the sound from the famicom directly, does have a few drawbacks... hmm i hope to make a video on it soon :P Will you be getting the actual piano? :D

[Lorfarius]

Probably won't be able to get the piano from what I've seen it costs as much as a PS3!

[legatodark]

So the reason it's rare is cause it's a pal ver?I think the jap came with an actuall mini piano that hook up to the nes

[Lorfarius]

Yep seems that way. The US and UK versions came with a proper sized black keyboard.

[Lorfarius]

I'm going to keep an eye on the auction to see if anyone is mad enough to pay so much for it!

[nick25clark]

will give you 50 quid for the carpet......lol

[Snestastic]

is this the same as the one phatphunk recently got for the famicom?

[Lorfarius]

I think so.

[TanukiKGA]

Now I feel sad. I saw this for... I think it would equal to £3 ?

Dont know about the UKV, but I think it was more common in the french-version.

Now, had you had THE PIANO with it, then I think we're talking big quids :)

[Lorfarius]

I've seen the keyboard go for as much as £160 in the past, crazy money for a bit of plastic tat!

check out the wiki at:

Miracle_Piano_Teaching_System

the sad part is:

"The Miracle Piano did not ever generate sounds from the NES hardware; all NES MIDI information was converted into audio by the instrument's built-in ROM and played through the instrument's stereo speakers, allowing the keyboard to be used independently of the console."

so that sucks....

[Lorfarius]

I just wish I could actually do something with the pad. Seems a pretty good package if you have the right kit, interesting for a NES game.

[TameFan]

Yeah the pal one is probably more rare, sad that you dont have the keyboard

[Retrosofer]

Could be a treasure trove there, worth hanging onto. Yeh some Ebay sellers are clearly off there head, at least that what i think when i see some of the crazy prices. I remember seeing some Dreamcast game, i cant remember exactly which game, maybe HeadHunter or Sonic Adventure, some game you could clearly pick up for less than £10 and seller was selling it at £50 buy it now, was in mint condition, but still, crazy!

[Lorfarius]

I think I'll keep hold of it for now see how the ebay auction goes. If some nut pays £130 on it it's being listed :p

[XFile2708]

Nice one matey - I'd definately keep hold - its something very different to the norm... :)

[shaurz]

Didn't this use a keyboard peripheral?

[Lorfarius]

Yep, huge thing.

[sandamtod]

I don't know what it's worth brother, but I'd probably hang onto it :)

[filtermadg]

keep it dude, it will be worth more in future - by law of capitalism lol

[Lorfarius]

I hope so! The US version is really cheap and comes up often so I suspect it only had a very, very small release run in the UK makin git uber rare.

[DemonmachinE]

Cool, dude. I don't know anything about this, to be honest, but you might have a goldmine on your hands!

[AmidstStorm]

UKV? I knew someone who was collecting a complete UKV set. i wonder if they had this one?

[Lorfarius]

I'm sure if they didn't they will be mad to miss out on this :p

[mmac78]

definately a keeper mate!
