If you can play *any* of those with just 5 keys, I'll be impressed. ;-)

 From what I hear, the film industry is not much different...

Bagpipe hero.
Symphonic orchestra hero (more suited for the wii, I suppose).
And, of course, pipe organ hero.

Hey, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you got to really play 
some tunes in an Ocarina to solve some puzzles.  You could even change 
the pitch by sliding with the analog stick. :)

You only need to engage the player into believing he's really a virtuoso. :)

  You mean like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Piano

  It even had games for the NES where the piano was used as "controller".

  At least the film industry has more reason for their actions. After all,
if you pour 100 million dollars into making one single movie, you have some
good motives to protect your rights.

  How much does it cost to create one CD of music?

well, for one there's the drugs dealers fueling the musicians, there's 
the hookers for their enjoyment during touring, hundreds of towels, 
5-star rooms in top hotels, all the dancers and performers and light 
technicians to make a few notes and many noises feel like a symphony 
etc.  It surely costs a lot.
