WSJ reports that Smule, sent an iPad preloaded with the app to the Chinese pianist Lang Lang, who was part of the inspiration behind the idea but Smule co-founder Ge Wang didn’t hear from Lang Lang initially. The musician appears to approve of the app, which lets users easily play music by touching beams of light that stream down from the top of the screen.

Of course there are people out there that will deny it to the bitter end, like they still deny the turntables, but because of the different apps you can find in the appstore, you can have so many different musical instruments in your pocket all the time.
