[edit] About the hack

Inspired by the movie Big - a big floor piano that you can jump on to make music

[edit] What APIs, tools or kit did you use?

Fabric, iron-on fabric, aluminium foil, bubblewrap, snaps, Arduino Mega and midi. And Blu-tac!

[edit] Anything left to do

We ran into a couple of problems with the scaling of the keys' hardware. Things that were supposed to work didn't, so we had to come up with some new techniques for making the keys. That's why we don't have 24 keys like planned, but only six. Alas.
