This is a great idea. My only complaint (as a music nerd) is that the C "key" on the stylophone is actually playing a G note. But other than that, it's a great piece of machining. Keep up the good work!
I think they'd probably have a speaking & spell card. You can push the letters on it to spell words, but only words containing the letters of the name of your business lol
If you ever decide to make a V2 of this, consider putting the components on a Flat Flex PCB and bond it to the card with some epoxy or resin with some cutouts for the components to fit through in the PCB substrate itself. This will make the overall thickness much more uniform and protect the components from being knocked off during normal use. You might also consider a USB OTG controller instead and a flip-out USB-C and some storage so you can plug it into your phone and play it that way.
I think this would be a pretty amazing idea. Had one figured out how to attach a stylus, and then put a small midi program on a tiny memory chip as well. So they would have everything they needed to play with it.
Thanks for sharing. I like its functionality as a mono-midi input controller. It does serve the function of a card in that it informs people that you are an inventor, artist, and musician in a very real way. The functionality underlines the words...impressive.
You technically can, if you can measure the voltage on the key, depending on how close or far is the tip of that clamp to the edge of the key the value will change and you can use that to do modulation.
@@leroysanchino He played it probably once or so and possibly failed or sumn hence why the clip wasn't shown, either way, the wear wasn't a lot sj I'd say it wasn't "a lot" of practice.

"Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness. Oh my God. It even has a watermark." OMG someone combine this video with the business card scene from american psycho!
ok, so i can safely say a few things here... ive never heard someone play a business card before. you officially have the coolest business cards ive ever seen you have probably one of the most expensive business cards in the world to produce you play the business card better than i play real instruments im definitely subscribing.
Imagine if you went an extra mile and had the logic all etched into the board instead of the soldered-on microcontroller. Really go for thinness, you know?
It’s just a basic pcb, I think they stated it’s about 3-5 dollars to make. So that’s expensive but business cards get so much more expensive, like 500x more expensive than this. People will use them as a flex and just dump insane money into them so you know they’re wealthy.
Wow. Never thought I'd hear a business card play music. Some of the pieces were actually pretty good too. The whole thing looks polished and is really cool!
I know this is 5 years old as of writing, but this is still a really interesting idea. If I did this, I'd want to put a custom song on it, so that if you just went straight across it, it would play a specific little tune.
You can do that on a midi keyboard. Just hit another note before you release the first and if you have set up the instrument correctly it will portamento just like in this video. Obviously you could do some kind of programming magic to make instruments do crazy shit since you can't slide that easily with normal keys but AFAIK no one has done anything like that, probably because there isn't really a use for it.
This would be epic for a software engineer’s business card, you’d be able to show your software functioning and how user friendly it is by letting them play “music”
It's fun to watch the wear pattern increase on the card, indicating the amount of practice runs that must have ensued in between takes while recording the musical portions of this video. Neat
The thing is I’m not gonna go home, pull out my handy crocodile clip and plug it into whatever I need to plug it into just to play the music, it’s just a very expensive business card that I would probably keep in my desk and look at every now and then because it looks awesome
As someone who used to work in a factory that made circuit boards, I can tell you that black is actually one of the best colors since green ore blue the „standard“ colors are used so often that they look dirty because of mixing of different hues. Btw I am not English so if I made mistakes or my comment is hard to understand pls tell me!
I'm not an engineer, I'm just an electric technician, but I've got an idea to add to that business card: what if you solder a flat piezoelectric buzzer to it so it has integrated sound?
