London-based studio Dentaku created the Ototo, an invention kit that allows users to create their own instruments. This will come in handy, whether you're musically inclined or not, because haven't we all been guilty of tapping along to our favorite song with a pen, or other random object laying around? Rhythm-less or not, if you love music and you love invention, you'll adore this all-in-one kit.
The Ototo comes equipped with anything and everything you'll need to create makeshift instruments. Simply connect the keys to conductive materials, which will control volume, texture and pitch, whether you're working with your coffee mug or a head of lettuce.
For creative minds, the combinations of items and sounds are never-ending. To make things even better, the device is MIDI and iOS-compatible, making sharing your musical inventions easier than ever.
