Now you can be the Pied Piper anywhere at any time. | ARTinoise

In the not-too-far distant future, kids might be bringing their smartphone to band practice instead of actual instruments.

That may be due to Zefiro: a small MIDI controller that plugs into a phone’s USB-C port and essentially turns it into a playable musical instrument. Developed by Italian startup ARTinoise, the plugin controller pairs with an app and allows you to blow into a mouthpiece to “play” a variety of instruments. The app is used to adjust the volume, length and harmonics of the sound, while the keys or air holes are displayed on the screen. Nothing like having an orchestra at your fingertips. 

The device is currently on Kickstarter but is expected to be released in February for around $40. Sure beats paying this for a clarinet.
