Presenting Israeli entrepreneurs’ latest innovation success story: the all-weather street piano
The world’s first street piano passed its primary tests, ready to rock the streets of Israel and possibly the world.
he outdoor grand piano is made out of concrete and completely street-safe: weather-resistant year-round, through rain, sun, or sandstorms, and even arsim-resistant, sturdy enough to withstand attempted vandalism. A prototype stationed in Jerusalem late last year has successfully survived all conditions, and the first official product was placed by Sapir College last weekend to withstand its first storm.

Inside its resistant shell, students and professionals have engineered complex systems to balance the sound, amplify the music, and monitor and control the piano’s status via a remote.

Dr. Dan Kaufman, head of the Entrepreneurship Program at Sapir College, is heading the start-up, called Cadenza. The project won a NIS 400,000 grant from the Israeli Innovation Authority (half the cost of one concrete piano) to encourage students to develop and execute their innovative ideas.

Since pianos are generally perceived as a traditional instrument belonging to a concert hall, Kaufman hopes it will draw curiosity from all walks of life. Whether someone has high-level training, knows two songs, or has never played before, with a little curiosity anyone can approach a piano and tap on the keys, inviting passersby of all varieties to come together and connect through music. A former keyboardist for John Lennon’s band, Ono Plastic, sat down and played Beatles music just the other day at the piano in Jerusalem.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.

Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.

In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)

Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
