That robot is creepy to me on multiple levels. Although an interesting accomplishment, no robot could mimic the warmth and feeling that comes from a skilled human playing it.

And to borrow a line from Jurassic Park, slightly paraphrased: "Your scientists were so concerned with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should."

Something mimicking our form is sure to be frightening.

I think it's awesome.  I'd honestly rather own a instrument-playing robot than a radio or a 'boombox'.
What is this "warmth and feeling"?  Electrical signals to the brain?  Aren't we essentially very complex robots?
I completely overstand what you're saying, though, still.  Verily I would prefer a human's performance over a machine's - this carries over into many other mediums, including Smash Brothers CPUs vs human players =P

And yeah, that'll end up being mankind's own undoing, is mankind's curiosity.  Just like kitty-cats!  Indeed we already have delved into many new technologies without testing them, Chernobyl being a widely known example. 
We will eventually have absolute power, if we don't blow ourselves up in the press.  The universe is full of legos, and we can build anything we dream with them.

"Better to have lived and killed oneself in the pursuit of happiness, than died and never have tried."


But John Hammond was a complete dolt about the whole Jurassic Park thing.  He was just a kid, in a greedy, rich old man's body, who wanted to see dinosaurs romping about, and then sell it as a product.  He rushed into it, and didn't take the proper precautions.  But what a great story!
