	Games - Miracle Piano

The Miracle Piano teaching system was a MIDI keyboard/teaching tool created by The Software Toolworks for the Nintendo and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Apple Mac, Commodore Amiga and PC. It consisted of a keyboard, connecting cables, and either software on 3.5" floppies or an NES cartridge. When connected to the console or computer, a user followed the on-screen notes. Its marketed value was as a tool to teach kids and to play the piano. It provided hundreds of lessons, and was advertised as the perfect adjunct to formal lessons. Due to its prohibitive price($500) and low sales, the keyboard and NES cartridge together are a rare find. Some of the NES Miracle keyboards were later converted for PC use - the Nintendo Seal of Quality on these boards was covered up with a piece of plastic.

The Miracle Piano did not ever generate sounds from the NES hardware; all NES MIDI information was converted into audio by the instrument's built-in ROM and played through the instrument's stereo speakers.
