A Miniature Piano,

that is tuned and actually works, 


 but here is the thing,

 it is made out of paper,

 Aliaksei Zholner, who we have featured before is known for making fully functioning models from cardboard and paper, 

 what makes this piano outstanding is that even the strings are made of paper, 

 paper strips are connected to a tension mechanism similar to a guitar and struck by hammers made from paper and cardboard,

 the piano that is tuned to play popular and classical pieces such as Fryderyk Chopin’s Polonez b-moll, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Für Elise, and Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, a more detailed explanation of the construction (in Russian) is available on the Only Paper forum, and you can view more of his paper demonstrations on his Youtube channel, strings of a piano made from paper, amazing!
