A piano designed by Leonardo Da Vinci has been played for the first time since it was invented five centuries ago. Except, to make things more intriguing, it's not really a piano.

Da Vinci, himself, never actually built the instrument, but after all this time, a Polish devotee of his talents has completed his hero's work.
