I've always wondered how the C, D, and E strings make their sounds. It's hit with a hammer, and you said the length affects it. On a clavichord, however, some notes share strings. Do those sound the same, or are they plucked in a certain way? Why do those notes exist, then, if they sound the same. What happens if you play both?

@@Mike-lx9qn Some notes on a piano can share a string, but each one gets its own spot on the bridge. Also, because the tension is so high on piano strings, the small changes made on one string don’t affect the other string at all, except in extreme cases, like when replacing a string.

But there is no explanation as to why the hammer does not simply bounce back up after hitting the string. Neither is there an explanation as to how a rapid repetition is achieved.

Mad respect for you because you actually put the right notes on the piano

Such a vivid, optimum and to the point presentation. Just loved it.

as a pianist with perfect pitch I thoroughly appreciate the fact that for the opening and closing animations (where the keys were shown moving), the correct notes were actually being played on the piano

Been playing piano for 10 years and still counting and I had no idea about all the detail within the hammer mechanisms! Thanks for clearing it up!

Thank you! This was so informative. I just got my first acoustic piano and I’m learning how it works. I really appreciated the terminology and demonstrations.

Very nice video, I can only imagine the amount of research you did, these aren't simple instruments! One thing that might interest you for the video of the pedals is that there is a new experimental fourth pedal that is called harmonic pedal, might be worth taking a look at it.

I've been playing the piano for eight years. We used to have a classical piano in our house. It was about 100 years old. My piano was so broken and it sounded terrible. We put that piano in my mother's friend's house. I have a yamaha digital piano right now. But the grand piano is one of the things I want most in my life. I've played at a concert a couple of times before, actually... And it was a beautiful feeling...

Jared Owen. What a very fine teacher and animator you are. Thank you for your service to humanity!!

Jared, Your videos are video's best! Thanks!

Thanks for teaching me something New! And AWSOME VIDEO!!

Very nicely done, Bravo !!! just a small downside: it lacks the extremely important spring between the wippen and the repetition lever This spring gently raises the repeater lever when the key is released and therefore the hammer rises slightly, allowing the Jack to reposition itself under the hammer roller. this is what is called (wrongly!) the double escapement, and it allows the note to be replayed while the key is not yet fully raised It is a wonderful, French invention of the 19th century, which the upright piano does not benefit from !! I have put it as a link on my website of piano tuner , thanks !!

What a great piece of animation, Jared! Very instructive! I've often said that if I could do it all over again, I'd learn to play the piano. It's the most versatile instrument on the planet. There is no style of music that you can NOT play on it. You can't say that about any other instrument.

Great animation , I've always been a fan of yours. You also explain in a great way , so keep up the good work

Thanks for this video! I only knew the basis of how the piano works but you explained it so quickly and goodly.

These are great educational videos. I had no idea there were so many different mechanisms involved in playing single notes!

I would love to see you revisit this subject and go into more depth. On your newer videos you dive deeper. For instance, though you explained the the wippen, I can now see it in my head, but still can't quite break it down as much to what individual parts do within it. I see this is an earlier video than the half-dozen I just watched (and then subscribed). Your newer videos put that show "how it's made" to shame. Regardless, whether you do dive deeper into this, keep up the great work.

Magnificent animation! 👏🏻👏🏻Thank you!

Precisely what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great video. Keep it up n thank u for the great knowledge

3:15 I think the Jack hits what is called a Knuckle? (the round, red thingy)... and that's how the "let off" (also called escapement) works. That is, the Jack pushes the Knuckle so that the hammer hits the string, but the Jack immediately moves sideway so that the hammer goes back down, allowing the string to freely vibrate without the hammer touch it. And if the piano player releases the piano key a little bit, the Jack now goes back down and is below the Knuckle once again, and if the piano player now presses the piano key down again, then the Jack pushes the Knuckle up again and make the hammer hit the string once again. So, it allows the piano player to repeat the same note fast... without releasing the piano key all the way before making another hit of the string. It is said that many or most upright piano cannot have this feature of fast repeated note.

Thank you so much Jared! Such a neat and on point tutorial!!

Yo mate, great animation and content. Thanks for your video

Addition: The part where the shank meets the jack is called the knuckle. As the jack pushes the knuckle the shank (the long arm leading to the actual head) is raised, thus lifting the hammer. Fun fact. the hammer is actually "thrown" into the string. Jared briefly mentioned this, but it is important. If you press the key very slowly the knuckle will never leave the jack before the highest point is reached (called the "let-off", more on that later). Pressed in this way, the hammer will approach, but never actually touch the string, before falling back on the down side of the let-off. You'll further notice the let-off will occur -before- the key press bottoms out on the board. During a normal key press, the hammer only reaches the string to the point of contact momentarily because the velocity of the press punches the knuckle with sufficient force to throw the hammer all the way to the string. The hammer can then return to rest, still raised by the repetition lever, but resting off the string. The let-off position is very important. A properly regulated piano will have the entire key line regulated to have the let-off in the the same position across all keys. Artist preferences notwithstanding (they can be a finicky lot), the let-off is normally about 1/16th in. off the string. The "cylinder" Jared mentioned near the back is called the let-off button, and that is the point where the let-off is adjusted per-string. A nearly universal technique for adjusting the let-off involves a magnetic strip of precisely the requisite let-off depth that is placed on the underside of the strings where the hammer line makes contact. The strings are metal; the strip will stick to them. The let-off button is then adjusted to the point where the hammer just-touches the strip. Once the strip is removed, the let-off is now-set to that depth (and you can move on to the other 87 keys; oh' joy). Finally, as part of regular maintenance you may wonder how often regulation has to be done. Depends on the piano, how often it is played, how often is is -moved-, etc. Things loosen up, get kind of janky, etc. I have my grand tuned twice a year, and regulated every 4-5 years. Still amazes me how awesome-sauce it feels the first time I play after both have just been completed. (of course, there's a lot of other things done during regulation, hammer shaping, sled-waxing, etc.).

You deserve a lot of money for such brilliant animation
