Oh man. This video would have been so much more effective if the audio was recorded in STEREO. The room acoustics play a big part in the sound of pianos, and the fact that the pianos were recorded (or at least mixed) in mono, we lose the sense of "being there."

That's in part because of the style of what he's playing, but mostly because the strings are so long and the resonance so big that the silencers can't work properly, so the sound of the notes kinda melt together a bit. Really cool effect, older pianos sound a bit like this
@charleshettrick24084 жыл бұрын
Agree with Alex. Also, there is a lack of overtones. Just one nicely clear note. Very different. Very, very nice. Personally I like it and can see it in serious concerts. But a regular piano still beats the richness and depth. It is a new and valid musical instrument that time will determine if it will be part of the repertoire.

The first two pianos have an almost flute-like sound. Delicate and pure. BUT unlike the Alexander Piano - you use wrapped strings in the bass. He sought to learn what the sound of open strings would be like and it is fantastic. More like a standard piano, true, but incredible bass that stands out regardless of what you are playing. But that upright of your is amazing as well. It does have a beautiful sound to it and the bass is rich as well.
