Mozart's Right Hand is a musical instrument capable of playing two full octaves of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_scale Diatonic Scale.] The user wears a glove on his or her right hand and uses motions of the hand and fingers to create different notes. The pitch of the tone is controlled by the orientation of the user's hand. The LCD on the front of the box tells the user the pitch that corresponds to his or her current hand orientation.

Introduction
The Project
Mozart's Right Hand is a musical instrument capable of playing two full octaves of the Diatonic Scale. The user wears a glove on his or her right hand and uses motions of the hand and fingers to create different notes. The pitch of the tone is controlled by the orientation of the user's hand. The LCD on the front of the box tells the user the pitch that corresponds to his or her current hand orientation. When the user touches together his thumb and index finger, the speaker plays the tone.
