In this paper, we propose the wearable piano system using the conductive fabric, whose name is Tex-tileNetPiano (TNP). The keyboards of TNP are made with the condutive fabric, and the number, size, and shape of the keyboard is flexible. It is detected whether the user touches the fabric keyboard using a touch sensor. Information which is detected is transmitted to the sound source system on the outside environment by a wireless communication, and it sounds. Our proposal means not only the
