I find it fascinating that even though you tuned each string on the E-board to one note, you can still hear the original note as an overtone because that's still predetermined by the actual length of the string, as opposed to how tight you wind it up

[@daydodog]

Uhhhhh, what, how

[@Dragongaga]

@@daydodog The tech points it out briefly. There's actually two waves on each string. One is the oscillation of the string itself, as it's vibrating with it's resonance frequency after being hit, the other one is the impulse wave of the hammer traveling up and down the string from the point of impact. It's the difference between sound moving through a solid object (which is determined by the speed of sound for any given material) and the whole object moving itself, which is determined by its size and mass. Usually the two are the same if the string is tuned correctly, but as it isn't on the E-board, you can always hear both notes. The one that is natural to the string and the one the string is tuned to. You can sort of hear it when he's hitting the single keys in a row

I would love to see a piano with the innards reversed, like a mirror. The low keys playing the high notes and vice versa!

[@CptStud]

Here's a few ideas: 1. Double the scale lenght of the strings. However, the increased tension might be too strong. Also, pretty technical to do. 2. Do a combination of strings since each note has 3 strings. Ex: one piano string, one guitar strings, one sitar strings or else. 3.Put electric guitar pickups (humbucker to get the noise cancelation) on the piano and feed the signal into a distorted guitar amp. 4. Change the hammer for a mini violin bow. So if it's possible and done well, you could technicaly play the note by releasing the key as well. 5. Change the strings to a metal plate. A bit like a xylophone. However since the plate would be longer, they would resonate more. 6. Tune the 3 strings on a key to a minor or major chord. 7. Transform a piano into a big nut cracker.

Fun thing about pianos is that they are both a percussion and a string instrument...so get some bellows and kazoos in there and make a wind instrument

[@andrewwebb917]

Have you heard of pipe organs?

[@hsisnothere]

i used to play piano and although i’ve fallen away from it my appreciation for the instrument and for the artists who play it has never dissipated. i loved watching this!

[@tyleremery7088]

The E-splosions were definitely my favorite part lol, along with seeing the piano technician's bemusement at the E piano. As far as video ideas go, maybe ask the piano technician what other weird pianos he's always wondered about but never been able to try, and make that.

[@meeb_consumer]

Is it weird that I genuinely enjoy the sound of the Tuning Fork Piano? It sounds much more like a guitar than anything

[@kawaii2517]

I love that to every engineer "piano technician" just means calling the one and only *Piano Tech*

[@georgeh5075]

The tuning fork one sounds great imo, like a harpsichord.

[@ghoost8943]

Exactly my thought

[@justaperson4065]

Try replacing the hammers with glass hammers. Glass guitar picks sound so cool, I wonder what glass hammers would do in a piano. I also made a guitar pick from an agate slice using a diamond bit grinder. So stone hammers may sound amazing. Marble tiles would shape easier than agate.

[@Chris-cf2kp]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="505">8:25</a> it sounds like church bells of every chromatic note put into one box.. it's really pretty. That was a good choice of song for the hammer piano, he's quite a good pianist.

[@growsomeplace9987]

Hmm, I usually come up with an instant list when asked about video ideas but you have a very specific niche. I will give it a try maybe something will inspire you. 1) a piano to play under water, perhaps have the strings in an air bubble and the piano in a pool. 2) can a piano be made from corrugated cardboard ? 3) glass hammers? 4) rubber mallets instead of hammers? 5) reverse the keys on a piano so it high notes on left and low note on right? (Not sure if this is even possible) 6) a piano that uses violin bows instead of hammers. 7) team up with "how ridiculous" and get a recording of a piano hitting from 65 meters drop, make a sample for the keyboard and see what it sounds like. 8) make the hammers on a piano of a conductive material and have them be switches for colored lights as well as music, so when the piano is played flashing lights of different colors accompany the sound. 9) coat strings in different substances to see the effects. Rubber coated strings, house painted, electric wire coating on strings (more items I am sure). Pick one do a whole piano. 10) make a piano out of a car, pop the hood and see the strings. Note: this has been a difficult list to create. I hope something inspires you to keep making videos.

If the fishing line piano sounds fishy, maybe you should try making a fishing line underwater piano. Maybe the tune will be slightly more catchy that way.

[@t1Pz]

Underrated XD

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Take my like

[@moritzglockner7902]

By understanding how a piano works, I got a nice idea for a next piano embellishment: One could reverse the hammering system so that the piano makes a sound when you let the key go and that it stops when you press it. I am convinced that playing a song now would become really funny. I already made a little engineering plan for it, so just respond if you’re interested 😊 The idea came while watching this video of Mark Rober: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3OofWaPi9-Arc0

[@margotrosendorn6371]

Honestly I really like the tuning fork piano. It has kind of a honky tonk vibe.

[@lunamooncat7926]

The tuning fork piano sounds like a mix of harpsichord and celesta, but with the sustain of a piano string.

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Agreed! I actually quite like it.

I thought of almost a Cembalo (though I think that would be more string, less metal)! It's really cool.

[@RedBudRed]

The piano tech guy is just the best! He should start his own channel! Here's a video idea: Hire a group of professional musicians to make an EP with only instruments you have "fixed". Use samples and record live, etc...

[@Sk0lzky]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="395">6:35</a> that sounded amazing holy shit, like someone took concert bells or some such and played them exactly at the same moment as the piano There's also a zither-like or even harpsichord-y quality to it in the mid register

[@NFSHeld]

I wonder if every single time the Piano technician's phone rings when Mattias calls him, his phone says "That mad man". He then takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, slowly lifts the phone to his ear while reluctantly pressing "Accept".

I wonder if game developers or animation studios have reached out. New and interesting sounds are always welcomed by them.

[@TheMichaelMills]

This was absolute gold. The piano tuner was a real sport about it and it was nice to see all the piano experiments again. Loved the interaction between you two. Is there perhaps a way to string a piano so the when playing the highest note it also plays the opposite/lowest note and continue this for all the keys? The other thought is maybe there is something that could be done with winds chimes. How silly you go with that thought though?

[@Space_Reptile]

honestly i kinda love the pEEEano, its all tuned to E but you can still play music on and it it somehow sounds... nice would love to see a whole set of "one note" pianos as that would make for a very intresting sound when played together

[@joshuasell9607]

Ok honestly making the rest of the one note pianos and then finding people to play them together to do one song would be pretty fun

[@NickLeonard]

Here's a cool idea, I don't know if it's crazy enough for you lol. I once worked on an old piano, one of the big uprights from around 1900, that had a special effect you could manually activate. A bit like a practice mute (felt) that are still common. It was a strip of thin leather spanning the whole piano, sliced for all the notes, with metal rivets on the end that you could flop down in front of the hammers giving it a harpsicord-like sound. Similar to a tack piano, where you stick metal thumb tacks into the hammers, though that is more permanent and can wreck your hammers. This method didn't destroy anything, and I've never seen it done on any other piano!

[@ItsAveryOxO]

Always love to hear the Twin Peaks Theme. Most beautiful song ever created for TV or movies.

[@Beading_Kate]

😂 omg The “E” piano sounds so powerful when all the keys are pushed at the same time. It is totally cursed one, but it is impressive.

[@chadmwest]

I have a suggestion for the one-piano-per-note idea: You wire each of the pianos using some sort of midi-controlled actuators so you can actually play all seven from one keyboard. You might have to divide the piano keyboards into maybe four (or more) segments to have more playable range but still retain the larger sound.

[@RoughSmoothie]
