[@abhijeet_ghosh]

The strings will also not resonate at the forks frequency, but instead at the string’s own resonance frequency, so if the strings loosen the frequency will drop and retune itself right after the note is played.

[@MrXBT2000]

Solution: 1. Invent piano playing robot. 2. Have said robot play songs with a note distribution that ensures the forks all detune the same (got to have much more bass notes, as they take more wear to detune one whole tone compared to the high pitch ones). 3. Gradually move the piano closer to a black hole, using time dilation to compensate the increase in resonance frequency. From our point of view the pitch forks will then still appear to be in tune, problem solved.

[@savvysav2444]

just take out the strings and replace with something hard that absorbs sound, maybe? plexiglass? that way the forks still strike a surface hard enough to resonate, but the sound created by the object struck can be mitigated?

[@The_Lazy_Misfit]

hi Mattias, you could actually retune your piano by adding a tuning fork to the end and retune all the tuning forks to the next available note below if it goes higher with wear, so each one would move up or down one note depending if it goes higher or lower with wear, you just grind the rest of the worn keys down a tone/semitone a lot of work but you don't seem shy of hard work and you have a lot of patience so good job and well done.

@@ferretyluv Thank you for saying that. But I'm already in my later years and almost finished with the career that I chose decades ago.

And I do possess those talents as well. It just wasn't the path that I went down... Or was led to. Since those who aren't fortunate enough to have been born to wealthy parents so not always have a choice as to what their careers will be. Anyways, yea I'll be retiring in the next 5-7 years. And I've been squiring tools and equipment to outfit my garage in order to restore a few cars. As a hobby, but most of all, for MY SANITY. Since I've been restoring cars in my mind as I drive this truck over and over and over again for 3 decades. I'm going to have to do at least 3 before the long, black train pulls into the station and the bell tolls for me. I've no children so.... The cars I do will be the only legacy that I leave.

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@lilmike2710 I was going to say that pitch discrimination also comes in handy for changing gearbox speeds without synchromesh. As a crude example, I have a Swedish milling machine with a two speed motor (2 poles vs 4 poles, 2900 rpm vs 1450) and most people cannot change speeds on the fly, but it's quite straightforward to change down if you realise you can switch off the top speed, let it coast down an octave, then switch to low speed. Works in any gear, in this case... Even for vehicle gearboxes, where the ratio gaps are all different, it's not necessary to have absolute pitch, it might even be a hindrance (because it relies on a fixed datum in long term memory, where an engine speed is infinitely variable). Relative pitch is what's needed (which is almost universal among accomplished musicians). I'm pretty sure almost everyone can judge an octave, though!

Food for thought: Don't think of it as "going out of tune," think of it as "developing character."

I think your original idea was *crazy* - but this video was so interesting to watch. I watched the entire thing in complete awe. I was worried that you might hurt yourself with the drilling equipment (and then not be able to play piano!).

I was fascinated about how hard it was to take the simple idea, and by the time you do all the math and engineering in it, it was a *lot* more complicated then it first started out. I love that there were engineering problems, but you were able to overcome them after a little thought. (The cooling forks was a mistake that I could see making myself - who would have thought?) I am so happy that your parents were able to help (and tell your mom she needs a haircut). Most importantly, this is the awesomest and most personalized piano in the world - I hope you play it so much that it goes out of tune, but then you can show everyone this video and let them know how special of a project this was. Thank you for making 30 minutes of my life better.

Out of respect for this man, and the effort, time, and money that he put into this project, I watched this whole thing without skipping any of it. The outro, the ad break, everything. And though that may not sound like a lot, I'm supposed to be studying for a test. For you, Mattias. I'm procrastinating for you ✌️ Love you man, thanks for this video

From 21:10 this part actually made me really sad. I nearly cried with you. So much time spent on something that wasn't worth it. I hope you took some positivity out of this issue and the fact you came back from it is incredible. You are such an inspiration Mattias and your determination is unbelievable. I've enjoyed all your builds so far so much! Keep up the amazing work, I look forward to more crazy and cool builds to come!

[@utube4andydent]

It’s the journey. Great work I’m with you no matter the out come. It’s the process that ids the key.

[@kevlarstargate4365]

I'd love to hear a song on this where the strings are tuned to different notes than the forks, effectively playing two notes with one key

[@Jononor]

A classic trick in synthesizers is to detune one oscillator a bit up, and the other one a bit down, to make a richer sound. Could work in real life too?

[@Stoney3K]

@@Jononor That's pretty much how piano strings already work because you can't tune them exactly down to the cent and keep them there. Also, string ensembles employ the same 'trick' because the tuning of each of the instruments will vary.

[@resell_enjoy6]

Heard of a clavichord before?

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Having the forks an octave higher or lower might sound interesting.

[@woodbees2801]

Playing multiple notes at ones is called a "chord" and is quite common.

Video idea: You should engineer a piano that plays the low notes on the right side and the high notes on the left side!

[@jynxx_syn]

I saw this one of your KZbin comments so I'm going to say it again. Horse hair instead of piano strings

[@Elmerstudd007]

Can I make a suggestion? I think if you redid this but with applying rubber feet on the forks and then re-tuning them you would be able to hear the strike better and avoid the deterioration problem. You could also run this where you replace the strings with the appropriate fork and is then struck by the hammer.

Seeing the tuning fork company fearing being bought out by a reseller or just happy to cash in and jacking the price almost double (edit: raised by quadruple....and prob gonna keep rising....) is pretty sad/funny too. 25:30 worth it.

As an independent mechanic with my own shop, I've learned the hard way that doing everything one step at a time is more disastrous than doing all the steps on one side first before moving to the other side in case I find a short cut that'll save me time and resources on the other vs destroying everything or doing it all incorrectly. Fascinating fails my friend. Glad to see such motivation to succeed.
