Thanks to cartoons, I always imagined a smashed piano sounding like someone slamming all the keys at once. Under these conditions, now that I think about what I just saw, the strings didn’t really have time to vibrate, and there was no chamber for the sound to resonate… The thing whole just got crunched in less than a second. Not a single note was played.

[@TheMeleeNuke]

Because that was an upright piano the strings and hammers were destroyed before the keys could be hit.

The reason there was no sound from the piano when the hammer hit it, was because it was playing Silent Night.

[@booshmcfadden7638]

The Play Button was my favorite. It was unexpected that it would hold up the hammer, the diamond shooting out was cool, and the floating dirt from the steel plate really shows just how much force with which this hammer smashes.

Hydroforming would also be great. You can take two sheets of metal welded together on all sides minus the inlet, then inflate it with crazy water pressure to inflate it like a pillow.

If you whack an upright piano top to bottom, the tension on the strings will be gone instantly, so it can't make a sound. If you keep the frame that contains the strings (relatively) intact, it'll make a sound. It should work better with the strings horizontal (either by rotating it or using a different type of piano)
