Oshizukani
Produced by Takagi family
Our family is pretty noisy, so we made a device that detects noise and sounds an alarm when the noise level gets higher than its set limit. When the noise level reaches the limit, the solenoid in “Oshizukani” rings a hotel bell. A hotel bell’s sound carries very well, so it is suitable as an alarm. We hope this “Oshizukani” brings our family peaceful days… By Mom and Dad

Hybrid Recorder/Pipe Organ: RP-09
Produced by R-MONO Lab
A genuine pipe organ is too huge to put inside of our house, and its price varies from some millions to billions of yen. However, we successfully produced an original pipe organ a lot cheaper and smaller than the genuine pipe organ by replacing pipes with recorders. Please take a look at our special pipe organ that we have developed for this competition; an A4 paper-size pipe organ with keyboard, perhaps the world’s smallest pipe organ.
