have you done a db level on the piano i used to work on pianos and pipe organs back in the 80s and did the lowest notes have copper windings and how many strings in the last octave per note and did you tune it yourself

I hope minimum 300k for you for this order

I'm in a New York state of mind with you.

Congrats on the nice set-up you have worked out. I like to see young people with the ambition and determination you seem to have. Your hard work will pay off and you will continue to succeed

Interesting interpolations into well-known score. I especially like the de-tuning of the low A, to A-flat, since low A is not used in the piece. Thank you for making the effort to travel and give this piano the attention it deserves!

Well done.......can't wait to see more of your exciting updates xo

I love Piano No. 1, and am now trying to keep up with improvements to it. Trying to make sure I have seen all your past videos.

Incredible space for a legendary Mann

Got another steel beam!

I helped move the junk upstairs!!

I love the height of the fallboard. A good reader doesn't look at the keys when he reads, and it must be an intoxicating experience.

Good choice of music, although I can't tell if there is a damper problem--OR--a pedaling problem with the pianist. It does feel as though one is "wrapped" in sound. My hat is off in the most decisive manner to the builder on a stunning job. The pianist treats the bass with great love and respect, since it hardly needs encouragement! She is wise to keep the tempo down in the octaves. Even over a computer speaker, I hear the richness of harmonics. I doubt that I will get to New Zealand, but I would love to hear and play this instrument.

I wish I could like this 1,000 times. Thank you, Alexander for having and executing your vision of this amazing instrument, and your lovely playing, Mr. Knight. Points for playing my favorite composer too.

Great playing by Gilderoy Lockhart

As the instrument is so long, for the benefit of the performer, have you examined a tone chamber, perhaps shaped like an old-school acoustic feed horn, under the piano to channel sound towards the performer. Then again, perhaps instead let the performer deal with things as they are. Instead there might be another panel attached beneath the piano, a mirror of the lid to further direct sound in the same direction the the lid already does. You may surely at times have asked yourself, "what have I got myself into". It seems that you were too young to suffer the notion an older person might, that the task was impossible and instead went with it. As for audio recordings, would a custom pressure zone microphone into one channel, maybe positioned on the floor below the sound board add anything that a scatter of mics would not. If you have not already heard of it, look up Decca Tree. It is a miking system developed in the times of early stereo recording of large orchestras as well as having individual mics for instruments and a skilled mix desk operator.

What a sound! I noticed in another video you said it was too bright. I like it bright.

Wouldn't it be great if some music manufacturer like Yamaha, Korg or Roland sampled This piano's full range of sound and programmed it in to a portable keyboard.

Beautiful! WOW! A truly clarion sound! Rich, clear, vibrant, yet minus that subtle "buzz" often heard in the bass notes.

Amazing!

Ok, at first I was like I can't tell the difference. Then I listened to other renditions on other pianos and now I can definitely tell the difference. They Hyperion seems more present and more genuine and richer sounding. Not sure how else to describe it, but it sounds amazing.

Sounds like a piano.

Sounds sorta like a piano

I can feel the bass notes in my sternum, excellent. Must be a whole experience playing it in person.

I hope Martha Argerich comes to perform on this amazing instrument!

yup, sounds like a piano, not sure what I was expecting

Oh, please play Rachmaninoff piano concerto no. 2!

OMG what an amazing work! Fantastic project. LOVE the sound of the bass. You deserve a medal. Come and restore my Bechstein grand!

Nice play v impressive

Sou principiante. Qual é essa música? Te acompanho do Brasil.

Breaking a string on that piano could be catastrophic 😂

Am I crazy, but I don’t hear a difference between that piano and a regular piano

Size DOES matter!

Cool af arrangement.

It makes my small 77 key upright look like a small kid's keyboard.

Piece: Rapsody of Rachmaninoff, variation 18

so enjoy listening to all of his piano videos....

Want it to sound good not sound old. I might say farther out from the piano; but, it sounds pretty good like this.

I like this mic placement the most out of the ones you've shared

GORGEOUS PLAYING...ON A GREAT DEEP GOLDEN TONED ANTIQUE ...WOW....THAT S SINGING ON A SINGING PIANO....WOW

Yes indeed, they pick up the sound very well. That’s a fine instrument. Greetings from Timaru Adrian.

Wow sounds unbelievable 🎉👏👏👏

Thanks for bringing Broadwood to life. Their baby grands didn't change design since the early 20th century and are really lovely. They work well in unequal temperament too.

SUPER😃👍👍👍

I think Chopin wrote that prelude for this piano! He just didn't know it 😊

It does not fit in my living room.

Didnt sound that good 😅

I FIGURED OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL THIS. On traditional pianos the bass gets so muddy you have to basically just stick to playing octaves. On this piano, it's so clean that the bass octaves actually sound thin. The pianists should consider throwing in fifths or even thirds. (I've designed synthesizer software and consider myself kind of a professional listener on matters like this. In my youth I played several of the works on this channel including this.)

I like his touch with the repeated notes but I think I phrased it a lot better than this.

This is the first performance on this piano I haven't cared for. The low bass is so clean it actually makes the piece sound overly simple. Also I've played this in my youth and I did it REALLY differently so in part I just don't like that, though I do recognize this guy has a definite voice with it which I respect.

That action is absolutely nuts! also very nice e46, my favorite BMW.
