This beautiful example is made by Mountain Melodies in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains from purpleheart wood, which originates in South America. Coming complete with a songbook, this eight key thumb piano is both an alluring art piece and an instrument that nearly anyone can learn to play in a matter of minutes.
