      Here's an idea, tune lots of pianos so they all account for one note on a normal piano each and then play a song by pressing 1 whole piano at once instead of a note. Probably not something you'd actually do, but still funny

    I would love to see a piano with the innards reversed, like a mirror. The low keys playing the high notes and vice versa!

    I find it fascinating that even though you tuned each string on the E-board to one note, you can still hear the original note as an overtone because that's still predetermined by the actual length of the string, as opposed to how tight you wind it up

      @@daydodog The tech points it out briefly. There's actually two waves on each string. One is the oscillation of the string itself, as it's vibrating with it's resonance frequency after being hit, the other one is the impulse wave of the hammer traveling up and down the string from the point of impact. It's the difference between sound moving through a solid object (which is determined by the speed of sound for any given material) and the whole object moving itself, which is determined by its size and mass. Usually the two are the same if the string is tuned correctly, but as it isn't on the E-board, you can always hear both notes. The one that is natural to the string and the one the string is tuned to. You can sort of hear it when he's hitting the single keys in a row

      That might be a good option for the bass strings piano setup, seeing as the bass strings in treble register had this underwhelming music-box quality to them but the bass strings in mid to low register sounded better than most regular pianos or basses. Just leave piano strings on top, unless you can find suitable guitar strings that don't do the same weird music box thing but are a decent timbral match for the rest of the instrument.

    • @ashleybroening6933
      @ashleybroening6933 Год назад +3

      I think this would definitely be difficult. It's easy to do a L/R split, and actually for some of the ideas in here that would sound really cool, but this specifically? It would definitely take an engineer to make it so that you hit two different strings with a single key and they play together enough for it to sound good. Some of my favorite combinations in electric pianos were strings and piano since it added that nice reverb/delay after the note, but it had the right amount of instant attack since it also had the piano. But those strings were bowed notes, and rigging a piano keyboard so that it somehow played a bow on a string would be such a difficult concept to put into practice.....

So I suggested making 88 replicas of my thumb out of silicone so I could slap the piano. But the idea does not excite me enough when I compare it to other ideas I have coming up. It will also be very hard because they won’t fit etc. But idk, I could make it one day

    Here's a few ideas:
    1. Double the scale lenght of the strings. However, the increased tension might be too strong. Also, pretty technical to do.
    2. Do a combination of strings since each note has 3 strings. Ex: one piano string, one guitar strings, one sitar strings or else.
    3.Put electric guitar pickups (humbucker to get the noise cancelation) on the piano and feed the signal into a distorted guitar amp.
    4. Change the hammer for a mini violin bow. So if it's possible and done well, you could technicaly play the note by releasing the key as well.
    5. Change the strings to a metal plate. A bit like a xylophone. However since the plate would be longer, they would resonate more.
    6. Tune the 3 strings on a key to a minor or major chord.
    7. Transform a piano into a big nut cracker.
