Piano Stairs

Applying pressure on each step of the stairway plays a different musical note.

Volkswagen has come up with a nifty way of encouraging people to exercise more... by making climbing the stairs a note-worthy experience.

Overnight, a team transformed the stairs leading out of the Odenplan subway in Stockholm, Sweden, into a giant functioning piano keyboard - much like the piano made famous in the Tom Hanks movie Big. Applying pressure on each step played a musical note.

The car company found 66 per cent more people than normal chose the musical stairs over the escalator.
