Swedish Pianist Builds Underwater Piano to Teach an Octopus to Play

In what might be the most chaotic crossover between marine biology and music theory, Swedish piano wizard Mattias Krantz spent six months building an underwater keyboard to teach an octopus named Tako how to play piano. Turns out, teaching a creature with eight arms and no attention span to master Chopin is harder than it sounds. After testing endless methods, Krantz’s experiment proves one thing: humans may have opposable thumbs, but octopi have impeccable range.
