Please get in contact with Nils Frahm. He is a really talented musician who has a philosophy that every piano has a song it wants to play. i'd love to see what he does with your pianos
All the above!!
I think that a good video title and idea would be: I invited a viewer who coincidentally also happens to be a pianist to play on my modified pianos
You should totally hire a pro pianist! I’d love to see their reaction 😂
Hire a composer to compose a piece specifically for that instrument (and then a musician to perform it).
i had no idea youtube would drop a swedish man spending thousands of dollars to make a piano play with hammers into my lap today - but here we are, and i am frankly thrilled
And at 3am GMT too!
Agreed
Not swedish its Norwegian
@@Untitled_Freak no it's swedish i speak it

I hope, later in life, you have enough weird pianos to open a weird piano museum. I would go.

Great Idea bro..

The use of the curtains are to mute the sound of the piano, just by using a pedal, which some people call the practice pedal. Hope you find this helpful Mattias.
These pianos need to be put in a museum as art pieces anyone can play.
Pianists: this is piano abuse.
Engineers: this is genius.
I'm both and honestly I'm equally appalled and fascinated 😂😂
as neither of those, i can safely say this is what i think the reactions would be
I learned that some musicians of the early 20th century put stuff such as bolts and screws to their pianos to create new sounds.
Sooo does that make him a piangineer...or maybe an enginianist ..lol
mmm
true
"Do you have 87 more hammers? I have a lot of nails"
So good.
Hahaha the delay on the sales clerk too like he genuinely considered what I said (See you on Discord?
My dad: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our fight will be legendary!
It honestly sounds like he's speaking in code.
what was happing to you
O.o
Your determination to finish this project despite ALL those setbacks is inspiring af! 🤯
I have seen and heard a “player piano”, the one with paper rolls, it had a curtain that when moved down allowed rivets to be stuck. This gave a “honky tonk” sound. Good for jazz.
this man single handedly raised the market price of tiny hammers by 350%
No wonder why Thor has to "call" his weapon: this youngster always steals it for his evil pianorpuses!

As an engineer of 40 plus years and a lover of mad , off the wall ideas, this hit the spot. A unique sound to make Beethoven get up and dance.
My drumsticks are also made with carbon fiber and its really nice material ive used those sticks for over 10 years now
"I have a lot of nails" 10 minutes later and my husband is still making incomprehensible noises and wiggling back and forth, you broke him Mattias!

exacly what i did
Need a hammer?
oh my god i made that exact suggestion on the poll i swear but i didnt get any likes or anything

Ladies and gentlemen, he has ascended.
Lol but srsly why do people in math problems have so many things in that large of quantities

This actually makes an amazing sound with the real hammers in it. It goes to show that there’s no end to creativity and many amazing things undiscovered
MATTIAS! Please start making sample libraries of all of the pianos that you experiment with! They all have such unique timbres and it would be super sick to have these sounds available. It could also be an incredibly profitable business idea if you sell the libraries!
You can actually obtained those library for free on his website
That would be so cool!
still pending for him to upload the hammer version 😂
@@pinkcatto1296 Can't find such a website, would you mind commenting the website adress?
Thank you! Yes I signed a contract with a company that makes VST’s. It’s gonna be hawt and cool but takes time!😄
It would be fun to call an actual professional pianist and make him play something like Listz or Chopin on those weird pianos
Or play hammerklavier on the hammer piano
I will hahaha

This is awesome. In case you want to try another method and compare, you can try putting Brass Tacks on each felt pad. Seems to have a pretty similar sound.

Yesssss nick robinson
Yes
I still haven't changed my profile picture from the Nick Robinson video
The "curtains" are what activate with the practice pedal, that muffles it so you don't annoy everyone when you practice over and over
Nice profile picture😁
Yup I had no idea that existed before but it’s smart af. (Pls join Discord love you)
I did not know that even though I don’t play any instruments but I do have great ideas and like the educational entertainment.
First seen on Japanese pianos I believe because of the paper thin walls...

This must unmistakably be a Hammer Piano for anyone who does not understand the difference between a pipe organ and a percussion instrument.
What's next for the most discerning music connoisseur? A ballistic piano with strings activated by gunshots? But don't operate that in a school which is a designated gun-free zone. Also make sure that ALL activator-guns point AWAY from the pianist.
It sounds really great! Great job!
The "curtain" is called a practice pedal. It's so you can play the piano without waking people up

Cool
Pretty useless when you put a hammer in the piano
Ooooh, clever
@@benni8928 Might help the strings not snap over time, since he is hitting them with a wedge shape

The most Perfect life lesson i've ever seen under a video
11:04 using hammers to break hammers, lol
the
"PP EXTREMELY HARD" sounded so good!! I love the sound it makes
My neighbor told me that when he was a kid he put brass thumbtacks on the hammers of his school's piano to get the "twang" sound to jazz up "boogie woogie" songs. He said he got into a lot trouble for it, but that it worked! He demonstrated this on his own piano at home and it gave the piano a very unique sound.
That's a rather common technique, if you play ragtime on it: instant Saloon feeling. It's known as a tack piano. By modifying the hammers you(or someone with the right tools) can also make it more mellow
Honky-tonk pianos. Dad had one like that.
Ohh Ok
Cool
my dad is a retired piano tuner , i can tell you made him cry...

HIRE A PRO PIANIST WITHOUT TELLING HIM ABOUT THE HAMMERS XDD This is going to kill me haha
Lol not bad idea
YES
HAHAHAHA!!! I'm had to get to laugh. I would pay
You're an absolute mad man. You were so concerned with whether or not you could, you never stopped to ask whether or not you should. And that lead to an instrument, I would say is not better or worse, just different. And it could use it louder types of music. This is a very Metal piano.
Swedish Mark Rober be like
POV: You're an aspiring Swedish jeweler building his tool kit. You go online to buy a hammer for your tool kit, only to learn that the Sweden is now suffering a countrywide jewelry hammer shortage.
Crap my hammer broke... Well time to order a new one....
Errrr... What... All sold out !?!
You're saying it wrong! Is yewelry!
I like that you go into a store and speak English. And they just speak English back, no problem. I might go into a store here in England and speak Swedish, see what happens.
8:32 was abosolutely hilarious. i am kinda crying. and you kept going. lol
Enjoyable video as always.
I take it you've heard of 'Prepared pianos' ? They've been around a long time though I think they were usually modifications you can undo quite easily
"First time tuning a piano with piano strings" Now thats some achievement
Hahaha😅😅😅(See you on Discord?
Imagine playing like this for a month then going back to a normal piano and being able to play super fast, Rock Lee style.
Rahhhh this is Big Brain🐦🐤
You should watch Piano no Mori
going from a heavy piano to a light one completely ruins my muscle memory, it doesn't work like Rock Lee sadly.
This might happen to me if I ever get an actual piano, the electric one I have has super heavy keys
Have you watch Naruto or something
Honestly the sound of this is a beautiful instrument.
this deserves a lot more views because you put lots of effort into on single video
keep up the good work

I would buy it in a heartbeat but I think I will make my own if I ever come across a free piano.
You know, Krantz & Son's could be an actual piano brand.
He did it, the mad lad he did it. We have found the guy in the math problems.

Lewis Hamilton: so it's Hammertime?

I am amazed you did it! I am speachless
I like to think this is how pianos were invented - someone just smashed a harp with a hammer, and thought it sounded good.
Smashing a harp with a hammer is called a Dulcimer. Lol
It was actually invented when someone tried to make a harpsichord with varied dynamics by using hammers in case anyone was wondering

When you have to hammer nails but play the piano at the same time:
I'm a music teacher and I am 100% going to be sharing this with some of my classes. In fact, I'm going to start doing an 'Improbable Instruments' day where we watch videos of people taking instruments to the next level, and you bet you are going to be one of the main stars of the show. Really cool, thanks.
Have you ever seen the video of the guy who made a piano our of popsicle sticks?
I recommend looking up “gordo drummer” he drums on buckets from your average hardware store and makes it sound amazing. Also the “marble machine” it’s basically a music box on steroids and it’s extremely interesting and sounds wonderful
Don't forget the marble machine in that case!

who knew watching a man put hammers on a piano could be so damn emotional
It was so sad when the hammers snapped but the ending was amazing it was like watching UP all over again
_Metal_ hammers, that is....
Yes very very emotional of hammers
This is great and it must have been very laborious. :) Of course, was it good to destroy the new pianio (full armor), which has a good mechanics? That was very bold. :) As a pianist I have to believe that the pianio had an irreparable defect, such as a cracked cast -iron frame, etc. :)
I have a very old pianio at home (1910 - beautiful design), which had upper dusters (Vienna mechanics), half armor and practically cannot be sold - it was not possible to tune it. But, I removed the drive and I placed the sensors from the electric organ (Casio with dynamics and pedal) above the keys. An old piece of "furniture" plays again, like a pianio, organ or saxophone. :) Inspiration for the next video? :)
I’ve seen this like two years ago, but I just rewatch it every now and then
This is a movie itself, it has a storyline, plot twist, sad moments, happy moment, intense moments.. wow
i thought the exact same too
theres a movie in China called the piano in a factory is about an actual steel piano cus the father can’t afford one for his daughter
MATTIAS, MATTIAS, MATTIAS!
The hammers and piano wires are both conductors of electricity. You can create something with that principle like connecting led lights so each time the hammer strikes the piano wires they will light up. You can now also use your piano as a midi controller or map out the piano keys with just about anything. Surprise us.
Genius!
I think u should find a way to tell him, maybe discord.
I like this idea....an old-school way of making new technology come to life. Each string could be a different degree - or shade of color....in a rainbow effect or a prism effect. OR...each string could be wired to a different telegraph key and you could hammer out coded messages. For instance, if you played a Wagner piece it would mean the Nazis are coming....but if you played the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" it would mean that California finally fell into the ocean....and on and on it goes.
But he painted.them already
Very shitty midi controller because there's no velocity information
Piano controller
I like the one black hammer he never actually painted the best xDDDD
“I know what you’re all thinking-“
You should get rid of some of your pianos
“I need another piano”
_No-_
I like how even though he had many setbacks, he didn't give up. He kept on trying. Honestly, that's amazing.
The amount of pure perseverance, endurance, and ingenuity shown by Mattias is incredible! Truly, the mark of an excellent engineer. Thank you so much for this wonderful source of inspiration!
Also, join his Discord. You will never regret it.

• Hire a pro pianist without telling him about this.

Yessss This HAS to happen.
Nice idea
Mattias drinking vodka from a wine glass, while staring at a pile of hammers is a whole mood.
Very black metal...
Same vibe as Matthias from Hi5 drinking vodka from a clear water flask and staring at a pile of keys...

The Swedish piano engineer. Classic.
the fact that it sounds AMAZING
Now call the piano technician. Tell him that your piano hammers need "voicing" and "needling".
"Voicing" is the process of shaping the hammers to adjust tone quality.
"Needling" is a process of "fluffing up" hammers that become compacted over time.
(I'd like to thank Aaron from the Music Practice & Theory Stack Exchange website for explaining these two words).
LOL! ... and adjust the weight of the keys
@@jhr0007 "The actions of my piano feel strangely heavy. Maybe you could perform a regulation on it?" This one might be expensive though if he really does it.
Make a sample pack!
Yes please
agreed. its a cool sound and id love a chance to utilize it
That would be so cool!!!
and then send it to pianobook
You can already achieve an EXTREMELY similar sound by using the "FL Plucked!" VST and cranking up the "Color" knob.
