This tiny piano was much work. I started by ripping wav files from family videos of my son playing his piano. I converted them many times to find nice small sizes that could be embeded as base64 dataURLs/dataURI.

You can use keyboard to play or use mouse or touch screen.

JavaScript powers most of it.

Nice thing about SVG image files (neat hack), you can compress them with GZip, rename the file to *.SVGZ and share it, now it is client side self extracting and self running web html5 application

Can't get much more realistic than this, it uses real recorded sounds from a real piano. 48 mp3 files are embedded in the file and preload themselves so they are ready to go at any time.

There are a few other applets in the piano for making noizes and sound effects. They are found in the buttons at the bottom, the first one is my favorite, glitch beat maker...
