Pro Pianist tries a Piano with REAL Hammers

Here's if you wanna see more of Jane (The pro pianist)

Sup engineerers. This was the extra video I promised. In the beginning you’ll get to hear some longer versions of the meme/anime stuff than last video. But then it moves to much more classical music and Jazz because I read a lot of comments wanting to hear that. In the end of the video, I share the experience of recording this piano as a virtual instrument. That was an absolute nightmare. Hope you like it, I’m so tired of seeing hammers in the titles now so time to move on with my life!

Letting her play whatever she likes was the right move! She's really talented 👍🏻

After seeing all the effort he put into doing this, I don't care that he's milking this piano for money till it's bone dry. This . Is. Epic.

There's a saying I was told once; "a good craftsman never blames their tools". Now that I've seen this video I actually believe it. She was such a brilliant pianist that she even made your ridiculous contraption sound fantastic.

[TarunoNafs]

I love how Jane is immediately interested in the piano and responding to it - playing and inspecting at the same time, constantly thinking about how to improve the way to make music, searching for music that suits the piano. A true and passionate musician!
And a great creation that worths the attention! Congrats on the last part. Really sir, you are one of the most hardworking person I've ever known!

that girls is amazing - she really goes all in to the project and tries to make it sound as best as possible and to adapt her self to the instrument. Thank you for putting a link to her homepage into the description. It is odd: On her homepage she is so polished, that it is hard to notice how hard she works - while here: clearly she is having a mix of personal fun, but also professional and personal ambitions. Seeing her putting in the work into essentially a stupid idea really shows how much of a skilled artist she is. Saying sorry for being exhausted after pouring her energy into hammering that thing? No reason to be sorry! This is the best this piano will properly ever sound - pace yourself. This is an instrument for effect/presence/solos - not playing all night.

She should have her own YT channel (edit: she has). She does beautiful covers and has a wonderful personality. In fact, her enthusiasm and talent made us forget the prank, she became the star of the show.

[zoomthumpthump]

What a consumate professional she is. She wants to learn THIS action and figure out how to play THIS piano; despite hurting her hands and the fact that it's got non-working keys. That is rare my friend.

[JoeJenkins]

bro you actually have an unreal amount of patience haha. have loved all these videos and definitely gotta cop the VST when it comes out

[UNMENDered]

IMO, she deserved her 1400 bucks. She spent so many hours for travelling in car and she played very well this piano.

[johnnyeproductions]

She made such an effort to do exactly what was asked of her, in my opinion I think that is such a massive professional approach and I commend her for it! You could tell she was almost disappointed with her performance, even tho to the rest of us... she did such an amazing job! I, like 98% of the rest of your community went to her page and watched several of her videos! She is absolutely amazing, and in my opinion she was the best out of all the people you had hired for this!

[norgeek]

Can we keep her? She's *good* at the pianothing, and she's also fun to watch.

[indigothecat]

Please bring Jane Levkoskaya back for more videos, especially if you make another piano. She takes her craft very seriously and seemed genuinely fascinated by your work, and maybe can even give some tips for how to make the pianos work better, too!

They had you recoding sine wave sweeps in your room so that they could use those to correct for the reverb of your room. Since a sine wave sweep is a perfect waveform, they can invert the phase 180 degrees so cancel it out, so all that is left on your recording is the echo of the room. Those recordings without the sine waves are called impulse responses, and you can use them to recreate the sound of an acoustic space or speaker cabinet, a piece of equipment, or you can use it to cancel out the reverb on a recording., by inverting the phase 180 degrees. When they release the VST instrument or sample pack of your hammer piano, they will be able to give people the option of playing the sound dry, or with reverb added to it that sounds nicer than your house.

There are studio monitor and stereo receivers that apply a similar process to room correction, so that the sound output by the speakers will compensate for the sound of your room and cut frequencies that have a tendency to sound louder because of the way sound bounces off the walls in your room. The idea is to give you the most accurate reproduction of what the sound coming out of the speakers is suppose to be.

The cool thing is that when they’re done making it, and it’s available for purchase, you can make another video that compares the sound of playing the real thing to the digitally sampled version, and that will also help promote the product which you can hopefully profit from.

To the Russian piano lady: You are easily the most wholesome person I ever seen to play the piano! Wish you luck with finding more enjoyable piano jobs!

23:31 - "It sounded great, I mean really great." .. well strictly speaking Jane, no, YOU made it sound great, really really great. Those performances, even the ones with the occasional stumble over the broken keys, were just stupendous.. full of emotion and .. in fact.. just great.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Unravel sounded really good on that piano, she killed it

[HoferEric]

I really like how she enjoys playing and srtated studying this wierd piano and figuring out not only a better way to play, but also how to make some accents and put musicality together. Great artist there!

[Bigmonto]

The way she plays this piano like an (extremely good) excited child makes me feel good. I love when people have a passion for what they do.

[Lumpiluk]

She and the piano tuner should become recurring guests! They both seem to really enjoy your mods
