14:42 The rendition of Firework by Katy Perry was just epic. As the video progressed it sounded like the pianist was adapting and incorporating the spark sounds into the music more and more. The sparks kind of sounded like someone was tap dancing alongside the pianist. One thing I'm wondering is if the sparks on individual keys could actually be 'tuned' in some way? So the sparks sounds a bit less chaotic and compliments each note more?

I wont lie, the snapping of the steel clacking with the string followed by a quick snap is so satisfying, i just wish it wasn’t a complete death trap waiting for something bad to happen. The sound is amazing.

I love how he burned out a resistor and was just like "Nah, we ball"

This was awesome, I loved every second of it.

How does Nothing Else Matters still sound recognizable and kind of awesome even when the piano has gotten hopelessly out of tune!? It's got to be down to the skill of the player and the emotion he put into it. Major kudos to MVP Constantin as well as to Mattias, Rebecca, and their new filming friends! 🎉

It's unsurprising really. The brain is basically created to find and focus on patterns. For instance, everyone recognizes a christmas caroll regardless of it being sung off-tune or in a different language. Your brain automatically 'fills in the blanks' so long as the keys are somewhat on-target. The sound won't be as crisp and accurate, but yeah, your brain does a good deal of heavy lifting. But it's also a good player who adapted well to an unfamiliar instrument that was rapidly going out of tune.

There's something just naturally funny about a noble and poetic instrument like the piano modified to just obnoxiously explode with every note

when he played nothing else matters at the end you can tell that was completely personal. it honestly made me chuckle when i saw the smoke and brought a tear to my eye. you can see right thru his sun glasses how memorized he was starring into the sparks and keys moving while he was just ripping it with all he got. such a pure moment. love it

Awesome! That was truly something special. And the piano smoking at the end, beautiful.

​​he got that far.... and he decided that it was a stupid lesson and start over

mattias being extremely cautious and awkward is such a mood

What a epic way to retire the electric piano. Surley this Will be the conversationstarter of everyone involved. ”Remember that time we played the piano with sparks” ✨🤗✨

All of it hands down is gold ❤

This Katy Perry song 14:46 was amazing... With a little more production value, it could be a music video. Fireworks taking over more and more, setting the piano on fire until everything becomes a firework. Great video all in all. It's all hard work and you do great.

Instead of hammers... re-make the piano using the regular wooden hammers, just wrap them with a strip of metal to conduct the electricity. The keys will be much lighter, and maintain their original weight (or closer to it), making it much easier to play, and still conduct electricity for that special 'POP'.

The hammers are also felt - which might be way more likely to burst into flames after prolonged playing.

Constantine took to the sparky piano so naturally! That was more than a performance, that was him falling in love💖 now I want to learn to play!

That crackling really adds a special something to the songs. It'd be cool to see a sustainable version of this

I am actually surprised you found a pianist who was so accomplished to play this thing. That guy should have his own KZread channel.

The piano slowly detuning itself to "Nothing Else Matters" was pure art man. Pure art.

love the video! if possible in the future, i'd like to see a small picture of the hammers striking while seeing everyone's reactions. Great content and I look to see more!

I'm rewatching it again. and that Jas music that he made is amazing

I thought this was going to be a disaster and a half but the pro pianist made it work!! The crackles kept rhythm and almost sound like they themselves could be sampled into interesting percussion samples.

The duets with Becca are really cool!! Just when I thought things were slowing down a bit and we'd seen the coolest parts y'all turned it up a notch.

Getting the protective plastic/glass tinted would be a nice addition to it, not only would it be easier to look at it without glasses, but since it's overall darker, the sparks would be the only thing you can see inside.

That's a really good idea. Maybe it would be also worth looking into some UV filter, to make it even safer without sacrificing the brightness.

This is one of my favorite creative works I've seen in awhile. A chaotic combination of music, engineering, and pyrotechnics

I think every concert orchestra should have one of these, as you say, truly electric pianos. Brilliant, both acoustically and visually. I would happily go to a performance. Shame you didn’t try the 1812 Overture, piano with its own cannon, now that would have been impressive to watch.
