Building a Piano from Scratch (with no experience)

Building a piano in a day. How hard could it be?

The piano’s debut single “Chomp!”
and just about everywhere else music is.

Other fine Sca-Taylor handcrafted instruments:

Simon has made other cameos on this channel before and wasn't so lucky...

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on it's own too

The channel is supported in part by Sweetwater’s affiliate program. Thanks for that!

I can't wait for the Sca-Taylor bass with barbed wire strings. Just feels like the natural progression of the company.

I love that mid-way through the build is when rob decided to take a look at an actual piano for reference. not in the planning phase because that would make too much sense. This is amazing

[TheSpiffyNeoStar]

Fun fact, this is technically a zither, because of the doorstops as hammers. Still super cool

[JoaoVictor-icht]

I love the way Simon's family support the Sca-Taylor project

Very interesting. A suggestion, because your pipe at the back of the "piano" is angled I would think the strings would roll down hill, if you will, as they are tightened which negates your tuning effort. You need to file a groove into the pipe to trap each string at its location.

I love how you just hear Rob say things like "Piano" and"High quality broom" in between power tool sounds

Kudos to the editor for cutting down 9 HOURS of footage into a really condensed, entertaining half hour.

[caleavenant]

the makers of an instrument saying "You gotta be careful" when playing it, shows the expert craftsmanship

[DHGHWS]

I will say, when played like how you did...it sounded pretty decent. Honestly causes a sense of uneasiness which for it being a monster piano is perfect.

These "building instruments from scratch" videos are starting to become my favorite Scallon Segments.

Next first of October album should be recorded exclusively using Sca-Taylor instruments.

Sca-Taylor Guitars is getting really into the avant garde/experimental music world. Amazing!

[hcthooh]

I love how he tries to understand the piano in the way that it has to work the same as a guitar, which is totally not the same lol, I love it

[carloscifuentes]

I love how positive Rob is and how supportive his friend is of all the insane things he comes up with

[FailureToBe]

Sca-Taylor is objectively the best instrument brand

[jwjarro]

Sca-Taylor never fails to disappoint with their cutting-edge instruments

[MisterTingles]

sing us a song, you're the man. sing us a song tonight.

This just looks like toddlers arts and craft but they have powertools and infinite wood. And I'm so here for it!

[jeffta]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can never own too many clamps. If you run out of room on your pegboard from all the clamps, that means you need more pegboard.

Pretty sure I’ve been subscribed to you since like 2010. You’re my favorite channel on YouTube and watching your videos always reignites my love for music when I’ve seemed to have lost motivation. Thanks rob!
