    Challenge: Find a better way to make vibrato at the piano and to post it in the comments! Post video and I'll watch. :)

      Asking the audience to shake their head back and forth

      Actually, the 3rd method is sounded nice. But if someone could add a vibrato paddle. I was thinking about a mechanism for it that could momentarily tighten or loosen up just a single string on every note, that will make the piano at least playable as well as sound good.

    I think this is why we all love an untuned upright piano. We are hearing some vibrato.

    For God's sake, don't shake the piano unless you want it to collapse

    Shaking the piano gave me anxiety LOL very educational, thank you

      When doing the shaking method, it's really important to know your instrument and its limits. 😂
      (And yeah I sent this video to my kids piano teacher, and she said the piano shaking bit made her heart skip a beat...lol. I better be careful not to void my piano's warranty!)

    I'm glad organists don't need to shake the whole instrument to emulate vibrato 🤣🤣🤣

    WHOOA the 2nd method seems.... risky 🤣
    3rd one is the most obvious tho, hahahah. Nice work on sharing all these!!

      lol thanks! I didn’t realize when making this video that I’d be giving people heart attacks with that second method. 😂

    bunny method is the easiest, but I am glad that I have an organ, not a piano :)

    Lmao had a good laugh. I won’t lie they all sound like shit (shaking the piano was honestly terrifiant). Singers and Cellos remain undefeated.

    Someone needs to invent the whammy bar for the piano.

      That would be too cool. Anyone know how to suggest it to Mattias Krantz? Totally sounds like something he’d like doing!

    Here I thought you found an actual way. Lol. I found a way to bend notes slightly. That's why I thought you might have cracked the code. Although, you could probably construct a lever in a grand piano, that creates vibrato the way you did. That'd be the only thing I see in this. It'd just be another foot pedal, and getting it to work mechanically would be the trick, as you wouldn't want some cheap battery operated thing in there. It would ruin the brilliance of a Pianoforte.

      So, how do you make a note bend? Now I’m curious!

    • @BKNeifert
      @BKNeifert 9 месяцев назад

      @@MarcPlaysPiano Ah, you rock your fingers quick, and do a quick two notes that overlap. It modulates and sounds just like you're bending it.
      It's a technique, but really easy to learn. Just play the first note, in quick succession play the next, and then end the first note as they're blending. It will work in anything with keys. There's a sweet spot where it will sound like the note bended.
      It's funny how I discovered that. My friend Denzel and I were in Piano Keyboarding class, and he liked to use the bend toggle on the keyboard, and I thought that was cheap, so the idea just came to me, and I've been using it ever since.
