I'm inclined to buy these Piano Hands gloves out of sheer curiosity. They're equipped with sensors on each fingertip that correspond to different notes. You can shift up an octave by pressing down with the heel of your hand, according to the Piano Hands product description.
The Piano Hands gloves come with ten demo songs, seven other types of synthesized instruments, thirty packaged rhythms to play along with, and an adjustable tempo control.
