The Tone Ladder

After customized ringtones for landline phones and programmable musical doorbells, another household item goes musical: the ladder.

The ToneLadder concept.

If a household ladder is extended with a melodic function, it will develop into a real musical instrument. The ordinary ladder transforms into a soundladder.

Stepping on a bar of the ladder creates a sound or tone which is different from rung to rung. So you can create a piece of music by stepping up and down on the ladder. Together with a partner you can even play a duet.
