I took an inexpensive keyboard purchased from Amazon, the Royal Kludge RK68, and modded to the best of my ability without spending much money. I also used it as the canvas for some experimentation with paint, including an acrylic pour on the case and some keycaps.
SPOILER: It ends up sounding really good!
Also, I randomly mispronounce words. And at certain points you can hear my kids yelling in the background. Fun times.
