An ingenious idea for a clothes washing line as a mechanism from Lawn Primary school. We created a sliding pole for a washing line with an 88 pianist t-shirt hanging from it to complete the design.
The main challenge was creating a washing line pole which was stable enough to play the piano key. It was decided to make the pole shorter and be activated by a string to pull the lever and play the piano key.
Mechanism #63, named the “washing line”, was invented by the children of Lawn Primary School in Derby, with assistance from the 88 Pianists team at the University of Nottingham.
