It's a really interesting sound that piano makes. I actually quite like it. Also what a fantasticly chill lady! Many thanks to her for playing such an unusual modification.

the "REAL SHIT??? 🤔" moment whenever one of them touched a key for the first time was too good.

I can see that these people, being professionals, must be a little terrified at how to respond. They don't want to make a mockery of your creation. I think a more genuine approach could work in the future. "I modify pianos and create videos for youtube. The task will be to see if you can guess how I've modified the instrument. This will be treated as a paid gig, but the atmosphere will be light and friendly and I truly hope you will have fun sharing in this creative opportunity to showcase my creation." You can still leave that final reveal to an element of real surprise. At this point, you will have built anticipation and they will be excited to see what you've done, especially if they managed to guess correctly! What a great video regardless. All of these pianists just lit me up to hear them play. Thank you for showcasing all of them! We would have never been able to experience them without you!

I was classically trained in piano for 25 years. I understand why the professionals don't react. When you play regularly, you learn to adapt to many different instruments having different feels and sounds, various degrees of proper tuning and keys sometimes sticking or being muted. You wouldn't really want to be a diva and complain too much about the instrument and just make it sing as best as you can.

The reason you weren't getting much of a reaction is because musicians, by their nature, love creativity. What you built wasn't as much as a joke, so much as an interesting and creative musical instrument. As a musician myself, I'd be more inclined to work harder to help you create music worthy of your creativity. They all reacted, just not in a practical joke sort of way. We don't watch and view because you make jokes... we watch and view because we are interested in what you create... even if they are meme worthy. Keep up the great work.

Here's what you should've done: told them you were a hobby craftsman and just built your first full sized piano, but you don't know how to play so you're unsure of how good a job you did. Then, when they discover the hammers, you can act all surprised at the fact that it shouldn't have been literal hammers.

I feel it's also the way in which he presented it... he just says: "can we try now how it sounds with the lid open?", while they are already in the middle of the play, engaged in "professional" mode, and in a setting where overreacting might even be seen as impolite. I feel the reason they don't react is out of respect and professionality. They are probably so impressed already by the novelty of the sound and trying to focus on playing it good that they want to behave as if what's important is "how it sounds with the lid open", and just act natural without reacting to what's inside. When the first woman was so surprised of the sound and asked if she could peek inside, had he allowed her to check it out, I'm sure she would have given an interesting reaction, similar to the last woman (which also happens to peek on it herself). But once they are already in the middle of play I expect they only care about delivering a good performance without being judgemental about the instrument they were paid to play. He could have also directly said: "Are you curious about the sound? If you'd like to check inside now, I'd be happy to see your reaction" or something like that. But because he wanted to make it more of a prank he made it look as if he did not want/expect a reaction from them when he opened it, so instead they behave professionally, since they already discovered that this was what they were getting paid for, playing on an experimental instrument.
