The piano bar rests on your piano and turns it into a MIDI controller. This brings back memories. Before the Minimoog Voyager, Moog made the Pianobar alongside the first Moogerfoogers. I know the very first Moogerfoogers were by Big Briar, Bob Moog's company before he attained the Moog company name again, but I forget if the Pianobar was first released under Big Briar. The Big Briar theremin of course came out first.  It's interesting.  Bob Moog started with the theremin, sold the Moog brand and then went back to making theremins under the new Big Briar company name only to come back to synthesizers with the Moog brand.
