How did you do this? What hardware is required? I would love to play with this!

[@CoenvanDongen]

There is a link in the section under the video with the details

How did you mute the strings? Is this a silent system with optical sensors under the keys, but with the sound output to the soundboard ???

[@CoenvanDongen]

There is a mute rail that comes with the silent system. The catch the hammers just before touching the strings. These have optical sensors under the keys.

@@CoenvanDongen So basically you have headphone option or speaker option, but speaker option is the soundboard ? This is incredible . You could install this on any silent system, such as Kioshi and then hook the headphone out to the soundboard instead of a speaker

Sooo if I understand correctly the system picks up the piano and then redirects it to the soundboard to amplify it?

[@CoenvanDongen]

Yes. It gives the possibility to play very quietly without headphones.
