Yamaha's Tenori-On visual music sequencer has garnered public attention in the UK thanks to Little Boots and her use of the eye catching device in her stage shows and videos. But what  is the story behind this amazing musical toy?

You will be pleased to hear that this clever little music box has it's roots firmly in Japan. The Tenori-On is the co-creation of Yamaha boffins and the interactive media artist Toshio Iwai. Toshio is also known for developing several video games, the most famous of which being Electroplankton on the Nintendo DS.
