Please enjoy the dulcet tones of this 'pia**' made out of chopsticks

Chopsticks aren't just for eating with anymore.
Tokyo-based composer and inventor Sami Elu (http://freethefleamarket.org/) has created a "pia**" made out of chopsticks, which he uses by plucking pia** wires and playing the chopsticks like pia** keys. There's also a little drum set, so Elu can operate his own percussion section.
This isn't the first iteration (http://blogs.timeout.jp/en/2015/04/07/meet-sami-elu-the-chopstick-pianist/) of the chopstick pia**, but it's certainly the most complex. Elu has been building different versions of his invention for years — and he plans to keep going.
Bonus: The chopstick pia** songbook is wonderfully calming. We'd listen to it before bed, for sure.
