A little bit of a sad fact but its an interesting one. In a certain area of New Orleans, theres a hospital by the name of Oschner. When my grandmother was in there after she went into a coma (she died shortly after, it was 2006 so ive had some time to cope) I would always go to the main area of the hospital where all the vending machines and gift shops were on the main floor. They had this piano always playing some beautiful tune and i can never stop thinking about it. I want this piano just for the memory of my grandmother. Even in the harshest times, it brought the sweetest memories of her. Baking and gardening all the time, I miss her dearly.

I had no idea such a device existed! Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing the level of detail they went into, as you said. Can the strings be "plucked"? I know they don't make sound; I'm just curious. I've been playing keyboards/piano for a long time. Not well, but I try. I work for a TV/Radio network, and we're lucky enough to have a Yamaha Disklavier -- I think it''s a 7 foot model. It is an incredible machine. You can turn off the piano mechanism such that the keys trigger MIDI notes. I can finally practice on a grand piano with no one hearing me! Plus, it comes with a General MIDI sound module, so it'll play multi-timberal MIDI files and have all of the channels for the proper instruments (drums, bass, keys) play just fine. And it's worth $28K USD, so it's out of my price range! Anyway, hello from Maine, USA and my day is always made better by a Techmoan video. Especially if it has puppets. But no pressure.

They can - they’re thin metal rods. Although I found they resonated/vibrated/rattled with certain notes, so I had to wedge them down.

No string- plucking - just threads for looks, but they really did recreate a 6ft. Yamaha in miniature pretty well here. I have had one for ten years - still working fine.

I remember a mall based chain of music stores had full size versions of pianos like that from Yamaha (aka real player pianos with proper midi connectivity) back in the 90's. Dunno if any are still made like that but that music store chain is long gone (nearly, down to a single store among several big box stores)

There are a few wonderful archives online of piano rolls - the paper rolls with punched holes to tell player pianos when to play which notes - that have been scanned in by volunteers and converted to MIDI files. Some amazing stuff, like ragtime pieces recorded directly by famous performers. A search for "piano roll midi" should turn them up. My grandparents had a player piano years ago, and I always wanted my own, so good lord, does this thing stir my gear lust.

(3:37) "...

I can think of several copyright songs I'd love to hear play... (5:28) yes, like "Piano Man". Are you able to play that song because it's in the United States National Recording Registry?
