Watch the video to see the technology used to help this disabled student play euphonium.

It uses a joystick to control solenoids which activate the pistons on a euphonium.

I saw some beautiful work Dan Oberloh had done for a woodwind player but it was adaptive work, a little different from this.

That's a great story! Nice to see technology used that way -- very inspiring. :D :D :D
