      Strontium makes red sparks. Barium makes green. Copper makes blue.
      What if the contact points could be changed somehow to make the sparks an RGB gradient while still not fusing the action?
      Sounds like a dumb thing that shouldnt work, but that sounds like worth a try on the model.

    14:42 The rendition of Firework by Katy Perry was just epic. As the video progressed it sounded like the pianist was adapting and incorporating the spark sounds into the music more and more. The sparks kind of sounded like someone was tap dancing alongside the pianist. One thing I'm wondering is if the sparks on individual keys could actually be 'tuned' in some way? So the sparks sounds a bit less chaotic and compliments each note more?

    As my mind became a little numb to the sound of the sparks, I realized the sparks were actually adding a percussive element, more specifically something like step dancing, which surprisingly added well to the "Firework" performance
    I also loved the thematic statement being supported in "Nothing Else Matters" with the emotion the pianist was putting into the performance and continuing to play while hell was letting loose, and it made for a perfect ending
    Good job on the video!

      You might be able to add some copper tape and thin flexible wires to the hammers, and somehow connect it to a speaker telling it what sounds to make and when. You could probably run it on 5-24V rather than straight from the wall and it should be fairly safe.

I wish I could live like that, like in that magical moment, when it truck so hard that nothing really matters, the entire journey through life. In a way life is that beautiful spark. Fleeting, yet with epic grandeur. Too beautiful to be bogged down by the little things, that, in the end, doesn’t really matter. Don’t miss the spark.

    i didn’t realize until hearing actual songs played on it, but the sparks actually give it a really interesting percussive layer, which shows off the rhythm of the pieces really clearly
    the piano’s lack of a percussive element is one of its few weaknesses and it’s something i think about a lot when thinking about the piano in an instrumentation context, so it’s really cool to see something that kind of adds that layer, even if it’s basically a death trap lol

      piano is literally a percussion instrument.

      It's unsurprising really. The brain is basically created to find and focus on patterns. For instance, everyone recognizes a christmas caroll regardless of it being sung off-tune or in a different language. Your brain automatically 'fills in the blanks' so long as the keys are somewhat on-target. The sound won't be as crisp and accurate, but yeah, your brain does a good deal of heavy lifting.
      But it's also a good player who adapted well to an unfamiliar instrument that was rapidly going out of tune.
