(ContentDesk) February 20, 2006 -- If you could fold up a piano or keyboard as elegantly as a laptop computer, wouldnt it be a lot easier for professional musicians, laptop recording enthusiasts, and students to store and travel with their instruments? If a folding musical keyboard had the same features as current market offerings, wouldnt this revolutionize portable recording, practice and performance? Wouldnt it be great if portable keyboards were truly portable?Musician and inventor David Bubar has received US Patent No. 6,875,913 for his Collapsible Musical Keyboard which seeks to create a better way to for musicians to store and travel with their keyboard instruments.

I believe the instrument now has an unprecedented new dimension of transport and portability.
You can take your keyboard and music with you wherever you go! says Inventor David Bubar.Mr. Bubar, together with company associate Michael Leczinsky, are in the process of exploring potential manufacturing and licensing options.
