The other man leans against piano, he clearly has a numerous fingers missing from his left hand. He tells the man that he can play a bit himself. The sat down one looks quite surprised given the state of his hand. The man pulls out a metal tube with prongs on it. He sits down and plays a piece of music with the aid of the device which he simply holds in hands whilst the prongs hit the correct keys. | |
