I've bought one years ago! Probably still have it somewhere. As i recall this connected as a midi kit. It was really fun showing this to people but unfortunantly didn't get much use in my case
You can wire bananas (and other things) to be capacitive switches/buttons, it was a nifty diy maker project a bit ago. It looks like he made a keyboard with them, so theyre bananas for scale (as in a musical scale)

Your comment gave me an idea for a movie/dock/rockumentry, which follows the life of Al Yankovic through a parody of Being John Malkovich.

Looks like he has them hooked up to where his touch closes a loop and each banana plays a note, so he can make music with bananas for scale.

Yeah, I have to believe this is meant to be read as bananas for scales. What an amazing nerd.

Yup, it’s a Makey Makey kit, plus bananas, plus Weird Al.
No affiliation besides knowing one of the former founders through a friend. They’re nice folks.

Is there a joke in this pic? It might be just weird for weird sake, but if there's a joke please clue me in
