That's in part because of the style of what he's playing, but mostly because the strings are so long and the resonance so big that the silencers can't work properly, so the sound of the notes kinda melt together a bit. Really cool effect, older pianos sound a bit like this

@charleshettrick2408

Agree with Alex. Also, there is a lack of overtones. Just one nicely clear note. Very different. Very, very nice. Personally I like it and can see it in serious concerts. But a regular piano still beats the richness and depth. It is a new and valid musical instrument that time will determine if it will be part of the repertoire.

By making it thst big, you get rid of the inharmonisity allowing for the base to become pure notes. this guy managed to create a piano with no compromises.

The first two pianos have an almost flute-like sound. Delicate and pure. BUT unlike the Alexander Piano - you use wrapped strings in the bass. He sought to learn what the sound of open strings would be like and it is fantastic. More like a standard piano, true, but incredible bass that stands out regardless of what you are playing. But that upright of your is amazing as well. It does have a beautiful sound to it and the bass is rich as well.

You can play these at home right now! Una Corda and that giant piano has been sampled years ago and they are amazing to play. Check out Native Instruments "Una Corda" and "The Giant".

omg! i love your amazing videos! keep on making them!

His pianos sound so special and he can play very well!
