Honestly it doesn't actually sound "terrible", it just starts sounding like a different instrument. At 110 liters I thought it kind of sounded like a marimba or one of those tropical island drums. It sounded like he was playing an east Asian melody as well
Yeah, it would've helped if he'd at least played an entire song so we could truly hear what was going on. All we got were tiny snippets.
Imagine the person who made this piano, thinking of how happy it will make someone some day, all the songs that will be played on it.. only to see this lol
As a pianist, this is both extremely uncomfortable yet stupefyingly intriguing to watch at the same time.

River Flows In You is literally so beautiful it made this piano cry. Truly inspiring
😂
1 month later: this rusting piano sounds UNREAL.
For those of you who don’t know, the piano got out of tune because the water level “readjusted” the ends of the strings and reduced the tension, and therefore made the pitch flat. Not because the water was warm
Also the moist air from the water may have gotn in to the pinblock which holds the tuning pins🎹🎶
honey xD
Great information. Check out this short video edit. th-cam.com/video/ZvEPoR8sARk/w-d-xo.html
The underwater notes were lower and messed up my scientific brain. Perhaps the sound of speed of water makes you hear it lower, or it is a false effect of recording. Anyway, I wish he had played the song more than 4 seconds.
Water is heavy, thus the strings vibrate more slowly, reducing the pitch. Same thing that happens when people breathe sulfur hexafluoride, as far as I understand.
18:25 is the exact opposite of that one guy who plays the piano on fire. Now we just need someone to play a piano filled with dirt, and we will have all four elements.
We'd still be missing the proper air element:
Playing with wind currents going through it. I suggest methods like playing while skydiving
@@forsteri8021 Very true, right now we have a very easy version of air, but with skydiving we'd have the complete set.
Zero G piano anyone?
Air?
@@nightwatch98978 Piano's already play using air, that's how sound normally works.
As an engineer for GoPro, i would've told you, it's REALLY hard making things waterproof.
I quite like how it sounded at only 5mm, 1cm, 10L, maybe even 20L of water. It's like listening to music underwater, or if anyone watches Nemo's Dreamscapes or similar ASMR soundscapes, it reminds me of that. Weirdly comforting as if you're in a submarine and someone is playing the piano or a vinyl recording in the next room. Perhaps haunting if you imagine you're exploring a shipwreck and you see a piano submerged along with all the rubble of the ship.
"Ohhhh....it's a leak."

It's actually funny how soothing and fitting a water level soundtrack would be if it was done with an underwater piano, I'm almost kinda bummed we won't be able to use this as a digital instrument, still a really fun video though.
I think these experiments could be sampled somehow (?). That way there could be a way to digitally reproduce the wacky sounds.
Although, I don't think Mattias should work more than he already does lmao
he did it with the hammer piano
@@Basomga played enough notes that you could sample audio from this video and use it, and even if not all the notes are there, you could probably mess around with settings and painstakingly recreate the sound digitally
A forte piano sounds very similar to this piano actually, try listening to one
Seriously ! We keep getting teased with these awesome piano VST ideas 😂
The subtle humor is HILARIOUS! The leak 😂
Playing river flows in you on a piano with water in it is next level irony.

@@Haru-nee 7:04
So update on the piano: Honestly it’s not really damaged. I read some piano techs forum before pooring the water and the general consensus was that one glass of water and your piano was messed up. I poured like 100 liters. I let it dry for 5 days and the keys are still completely stuck. But all I need to do Is remove them and put them back 10 times to loosen them up and then polish the keypins back from rust. Then it’s smooth again. Well this will take me a day but I’m recording a VST in different water levels so we can have a wet/dry knob on the software
Pog
There's really one thing that can be said now -
You did it, you crazy madman, you actually did it.
Hype
Amazing opportunity to play the song from Wet Dry World of Mario 64 with that knob xD
That is a w e s o m e
A pool with a fountain that plays music. You could make a living off this idea.
now we need the entire piano completely submerged in a pool

The last part when you play river flow in you while water is leaking, I love to imagine that it's the rain noise in the background while playing piano. What a nice sound
Same here
It really was nice. I love how he ran to refuel the piano with water and kept playing
In the frontground you mean?
@@MavikBow no, as the music is what you are meant to focus on, and the rain is more like a filler on where the empty, sound of nothingness lands.

The ultimate irony of playing "River flows through you" as the water literally flows out your keys. It was like a waterfall piano. Truly, this is performance art at its finest.
Honestly, it reminds me of something you might see on a Disney ride for like a haunted sunken ship - a ghost pianist playing on a piano as the water overflows through the key.
Yes! That would be so beautiful
River flows from piano. Maybe Matias should turn it into a water fixture for the pond outside his house.
watertflows thru u
the fact that i listened to this exact song today is also even more intense
River flows in you, my dear piano.
River flows in Piano
You playing "A river Flows Through" while a river flows through is actually brilliant. Well done sir.
the song is called "River flows in you" but I appreciate the enthusiasm
@@comradevladimir then the "you" here is for the piano
"River flows in piano" literally. That was cool. I wonder if you can submerge a piano entirely in a pool and play
River flows in my piano yes I want Yiruma to come over and make a music video😏🤝
Thank you🙏🙏
what I find funny is that watering a piano is actually a thing, well preserved grand pianos are often humidity controlled and there are people who have to water their piano because its special, I don't remember the actual importance of humidity
I think it impacts the resonance of the wood. Besides that moisture is obviously part of the volume, so without it the wood might contract and make everything not fitting.
We indeed used to have a little box with water and newspapers which served as humidifier inside the grand piano!
One simple reason is that as wood dries up it can bend and crack. The trick guitarists use is to put a carrot inside a guitar case when storing guitar for long.
Yes all that black mold adds major improvements
@@TheVioletBunny I can assure you our piano was not moldy.
the river flows in piano part was worth it
You made a lo-fi piano without using a DAW. Nice!
One of these days you're going to just figure out you've invented a new kind of piano. Honestly this one gets close. When you swam in it though, genuinely terrifying. There's so many ways that could have gone catastrophically wrong, but I guess you're the guy who knows about pianos and presumably know just how to lay on them without getting 40 broken strings embedded in your back.
Or with a broken piano and strings in your back. Thats like 130 kg more than the piano it self + hes weight
I have no idea how to lay on it tbh haha. But pianos are strong it turns out. 130kg+70=200 bonus kg in the back was kind of risky i guess
You kinda make me wonder if an upright piano is half submerged in water how would it sound like. Probably not a bad idea for a collab with some random aquarium.
whats the name of the song at 13:01? i want to listen to the whole piece, i like it.

"To lift out the frame, you need a friend....so I bought a crane. "

The leak bit was funnier
The work you put into this experiment was phenomenal. I think that some of the sounds that the piano made could become patches on any synth keyboard. All of them were remarkable, some reminding me of a koto, and the microphones in the water creating a sound like they were recorded on vintage equipment, well done.
I'm imagining this piano being modified to work continuously with water in it and it having a pump and reservoir that allows you to exactly control the water volume (and possibly temperature control). It'd be really cool and not at all worth it.
I think it would be worth it, I like how it sounds at 40 liters
@@ElaxGameplaysHD it would be the BEST kontakt instrument
Might as well make an aquarium out of it while you're at it - complete with living fish.
@Michael I do believe it's never been tried. We could have a first here. Never in all my days, have I ever seen a speaker in an aquarium, much less in a piano, or, piano/aquarium.
Am thinking a piano with an aquarium

@@warpedmine9682 yes
I can't believe you didn't play a Titanic OST on it. The water flowing through it just begs for it.
The amount of "Why did you do that?☹️" going inside my head is unmeasurable
I’m genuinely shocked that the piano didn’t collapse in some way when you “swam” in it. I now have a morbid curiosity about what you could/would do with my instrument of choice, a marimba. I shudder at the thought…
with a synthetic board it might be interesting tbh but would probably just be muted and sad lmao. A vibraphone could be a bit more interesting though.
Yeah I mean I guess pianos are built to sustain some serious weight for idk 40+ years so they are probably a bit overbuilt. But that angle on the legs I admit was kind of sus at times. If the piano collapsed though I guess that would be interesting ending too
Marimba is cool

bro, you should have given this piano to a family
At this point Mattias is going to become a professional piano technician through all of his experiments on modifying and tuning pianos. He’s got lots of piano schematic knowledge on hand.
This is what most pianists get up to in a parallel universe.

I think so too sometimes but then I look at the piano action and change my mind
@@Mattiaskrantz Maybe the next project XD
Something I did not expect to learn in this video: there’s a certain amount of water that, if added to a piano, makes it sound better.
But only when heard underwater lmao
Somebody was playing the piano on the Titanic as the ship was sinking.
@@foureyedchick Have to repeat this exercise with salt water to verify.
yeah, that amount is 0 :P
trust in Jesus y’all he’s the only way. Trust in him and that he died for your sins on the cross!!!
this gives me a great ideas... imagine if all the parts that the water ruined were waterproof parts and the water is nice and warm for your hands and legs as you play, and a pool underneath catches and recirculates the water back to the top and re-warms it before the full cycle is complete, and if you wanted fish instead of hot water you could make it an aquarium.
River Flows In You is a perfect song for the occasion, tbh
As weird as it sounds, the piano looked beautiful with water flowing out it
And he was playing riverflow and the piano looked like a river
I was half expecting the legs to break at some point, but even after 130kg of water it was still standing strong. And then he climbed in! What a mad man
This making pianists angry makes this video even better.

So I think hiring a pro pianist would be kind of funny. Then just started watering the piano and saying it sounds a bit dry with a straight face.
Other alternative would be to keep the lid closed and just let the water be inside and never mention it.

Actually the funniest prank would be to have the piano full of water and as soon as the keys are pressed the piano levels outs to dump all the water through the keys.
It's absolutely fantastic. I love the fact that this project is impractical. but we can all learn what happens to the piano sound, when the instrument is filled with water. Projects like this drive the humanity forward into the future. There are no commercial reasons to do it, but it's super interesting to do and that's good enough to spend time and money on this.
Facts
Agreed
The river flows in my piano.
Dude it started to sound a bit like a banjo at one point, amazing stuff
Video idea: Since piano strings are made of copper, you should try to anodize each string and form a gradient from highest to lowest (would probably look better on a grand piano)!
That would look neat. Good idea
For version 2 of the Water Filled Piano, you need to paint the inside black, and use a large light directly above the piano to show the ripples in the water, also, when you do the water through the keys ending you should play that song from "flashdance" and shoot it in slow motion with you banging on the keys with all the water going all over, maybe add some compressed air some keys set off to throw water up out of the piano too.
