An incredible piano, and an incredible pianist. I know it has the tablet holder....I don't see a music stand for printed music! Surely there is one.

The extra notes below A0 and above C8 are what I call the "Yellow Zone", meaning that the low notes begin to transition from tone to rhythm, while the high notes begin to transition from discernible to indiscernible. Beyond C0 and B8 is what I call the "Red Zone", where you either hear rhythm instead of tone, or you hear frequencies so high-pitched that you cannot discern which note they represent anymore, and eventually transition into ultrasonic. I think we need the "Piano Extreme" to demonstrate this phenomenon.

Because it is a silent movie, I can concentrate on the gestures and facial expressions of the actors better than when I hear the words that Shakespeare wrote. In other words, I like this movie more than the play! The lines Shakespeare wrote are distracting when I see his plays. For the first time, I really feel the sorrow and loneliness of Ophelia, the anger of Laertes, the lust and greed of Claudius, the selfish weakness of Gertrude, and the pain of Hamlet (Lady Hamlet, in this case). Instead of being distracted (at least, I am) by hearing the "to be or not to be" soliloquy, we are shown Lady Hamlet nevously touching one of her wrists with a dagger. Nevertheless, a few details could have been changed or added that might improve this masterpiece. First, it probably should have been made more nearly obvious to the viewer that Claudius had carelessly left his dagger near the trap door to the snake pit. This scene might work better if the film had shown him using the dagger to help loosen the trap door so that he could pull it open, and then, because he is preoccupied with handling a venomous snake, he forgets to retrieve his dagger. Apparently, he killed the snake then and there with the dagger, although this is not shown. Later on, one might think that Claudius would have taken his dagger back after seeing Hamlet playing with it during one of his "mad scenes" on the steps. At first, that seemed a little strange. On the other hand, that dagger near the trap door to the snake pit was a clue that connected Claudius to the murder of Hamlet's father. Claudius would not have wanted to attract attention to himself by making an issue of it. It was not clear to me at first viewing during the play-within-a play that an actor is dangling a rope or a poisonous snake (or a mockup of one) near the ear or neck of the sleeping Gonzago. This probably should have been a close-up. On the other hand, this detail might not have been obscure to other viewers. Now and then, I am slow to catch on to things that others immediately understand. For logic's sake, Hamlet should have been shown locking the door and windows from their outer sides that lead to the room where Claudius is being burnt alive, since Claudius could have escaped from an unlocked door. Moreover, it seems excessive having the other men with Claudius being burnt to death as well. They did not deserve to die that way. In the scene where Hamlet refrains from killing Claudius while he is praying, if Hamlet had been shown being overwhelmed by seeing a large, sculpted Christ being crucified on the Cross on the wall of the chapel where Claudius is praying, this would have made this scene more effective. [Incidentally, President Lincoln thought this soliloquy where Claudius fails to repent to be superior to the "to be or not to be" soliloquy.] Clergymen represent religion which is the ultimate source of our sense of right and wrong, but they heartlessly appear only near the end of the movie and play at Ophelia's funeral. When Laertes confronts Claudius and asks him who killed his father, there should have been a close-up of just the lips of Claudius carefully saying the word "Hamlet". The name is simple enough for the audience to read the lips of Claudius. What I find most troublesome is that in the play and in the movie Hamlet has no remorse for having killed poor Polonius. A witless fool is still a human being. In English classes, we are usually taught to see Hamlet sympathetically since we feel sorry for someone whose father has been murdered by his brother and since we feel sorry for someone who becomes aware his mother has callously married the murderer. Hamlet had valid motives, but in the long run, he was a destructive, dangerous person. He meant well, but we all mean well. Hamlet is not behaving well when she pretends to woo Ophelia. He is selfishly using Ophelia. It is unjust that Hamlet is willing to duel to the death against Laertes who naturally wants revenge for Hamlet's having killed his father and driven his sister mad. Hamlet's indirect killing of Rosenkranz and Guildenstern can be seen as self-defense. Perhaps the real theme of the play and movie [and it is a "revenge play"] is how haphazard, accidental, and sloppy justice often is in the real world, especially when the "justice" is vigilante justice. Notice what you do not see; throughout the play and the movie, we see no lawyers, judges, or policemen. Even in the calm, cool world of the courtroom, there are fools and conmen. Evidence is sometimes lost or corrupted, and witnesses as well as jurors are often biased and cannot remember everything. As Robert Frost once said, "Juries do not decide guilt or innocence, but which side had the better lawyer." Even without the aforementioned suggested improvements, this movie is a masterwork of cinema; however, it is still a hard sell. Some people laughed during its performances. In particular, the legs of Hamlet that appear @1:39:22 during Ophelia's funeral are definitely those of a woman, and to expect that all the real men in the movie, especially Hamlet's close friend Horatio, to be unaware of this continuously is unreasonable. According to those who lived during the 1960's, Hamlet is wearing a mini skirt under her cape. The principle of "willing suspension of disbelief" seems stretched to the breaking point in this movie. In performances of Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale" a bear supposedly appears on stage and chases away some of the actors. We understand and overlook the fact that in a theater the "bear" is really a man or woman in a bear costume.

Treating those highest notes as fundamentals does not work very well because the action is so much louder than the note, but if you treat the higher notes as HARMONICS of the lower notes then they work to musical affect. For example so if you play an octave up high the lower note will subsume the higher note, it will be as if the lower note is playing by itself, but it will have a brighter timbre than if it were actually playing by itself which is quite useful.. An octave will do this (2nd harmonic), an octave and a fifth (3rd harmonic) two octaves (4th harmonic) two octaves and a third (5th harmonic) two octaves and a fifth (6th harmonic) two octaves and a minor seventh (7th harmonic) 3 octaves (8th harmonic) and so on.

Sounds impressive, but to me the best part of all this is what the normal 88 keys sound like. The rest is more or less irrelevant unless you are doing a lot of arrangement or unconventional composition.

The mechanism of this upper-piano is different as the normal regular size, The strings are extended a little bit for each key, I don`t know if the funtionality changes about how much time does the piano hammer can be support before a desgast in the sound of the tinniest and the lowest key and I think this piano is just an exhibition, but no avaible in stores or comercial sides, Because it`s unic, the sounds`en the extra sounds makes this piano the valuest piece of art ever.

Whilst the upper notes may not be discernable to an adult, the hearing of children and teens through to about the age of 21 may be able to do so. The caveat is that they have not blown out their high frequencies with ear buds and loud canned music in the meantime. As a kid, the high pitch from an old CRT television set used to send me almost insane. A piano tuner who was a friend of the family assured me that by the time I turned 21 it would no longer bother me and it didn't. The first angle grinder used without muffs or standing anywhere near and old Rolls-Royce turboprop-powered airliner takes care of it.
