I want this so I can pretend I'm Schroeder from peanuts
Did you build the whole thing in 1 day?!! Nice job! I would definitely watch other builds! Bring it on!
I love the emotion this guy brings, I'm so pumped up!

O my lord God of gru and my God
This would be a killer piece to have on the shelf
That is just amazing!!
YOU TOLD US LOTS OF INFORMATION THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH MY MOM REALLY APPRECIATED THAT SUPER MUCH!!!!!!!🙏🏻
Because I'm a pianist, I was gifted this set by a friend (who'd built and got bored with it) ....... all 3662 pieces in ONE giant bag! Took forever to build.
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing it. I have just received, this morning, my Lego grand piano. Can’t wait to start building it. Is it quite delicate? Or does it need a firm hand now and again. Any tips or tricks too? Cheers!
Great Quality of the video
I noticed that you have the Lego Iron Man art in the background of the video. Have you heard about Lego Art Remix? It combines Lego with computer vision, so it seems like something that would be in your wheelhouse.
Wao that’s amazing
Great video 👍
Wow I didn't know that this existed but this is awesome
Nice review
I need this!!!
thats so cool
I’ve built mine up to stage 15/21 ..that took about a week ...hopefully be done for next week ..so far so good ..

Same here!
Having just finished this set I now know why he displays this on a cutting mat... the wheels all need to go on about 2/3 way through the build and the wheels def work! Took nearly an hour to get all the bits that fell out back in the correct place. I love this lego though and looks amazing on top of my own piano.
So you built that while thing, never once did you seem irritated, frustrated, or just plain old exhausted! I'm guessing you didn't build it in one sitting...and if you did, how long did it take you? I think I would've lost my mind trying to put that thing together!
I like his voice please do more lego videos with him
It took me seven days to Finnish and another two to find a video that could tell me how to play it
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm baffled how this video did not receive more than a hundred thousand views.
I just stumbled across this video today, and must say that I never heard of the Lego Ideas Collection. I grew up in the 60's when you really had to use your imagination, when all of the bricks were either square or rectangular. I enjoyed watching you build the piano, and thankfully, you speeded up the video. How many hours did it take you to complete this build? Did you actually build it in one day (judging by your wearing the same shirt throughout - or was that to trick us?). Nice job! I have now subscribed to your channel 👍

I built mine in 3 days, i tried to build at a slow pace as I like to enjoy my expensive toy, it just wasn't that complicated. It was really a great build and I love the looks of it. Well wroth the cost.

@@kimlarson3901 That's awesome, Kim. Building it would be at least half of the fun. The kit looks like it was well-planned. I loved LEGO when I was a kid, as well as assembling model kits of cars, airplanes, and ships. My health and eyesight has deteriorated to the point where I no longer do too many crafts. Enjoy your piano!
I was so close buying it but I’ll rather buy a real piano... although it does look really sick,so pro... I luv all that detail
I'm not sure I've ever seen a manual that looks like it belongs on a coffee table before. Wow
Thanks. I was curious if this could actually be played like a real piano. Guess not. Still is a beautiful lego model!

Yeah, I hate that everyone says "You can actually play it!" But only play along with certain songs and you can press any key. A shame that you can't actually play it yourself.
OMG oh my God
How long did it take to build?? I don’t know how this guy could forget to mention that
Great video mate. You should invest in better lighting!
What if the keys don’t move while listening?
The real question is, can you load own “sheet music” to have the piano play Christmas songs, or GoT or Mandalorian theme or “Africa”?

Fun fact: in the name Lego IDEAS, The ideas is from people that designed the lego sets
I have just built this. But the keys are not moving up and down.. Can someone please advise me.

The only bad thing is it only play the song and each piano key doesnt have a tone. although its a beautiful figure for the collectionist.
Does the piano emit any sounds, or is it only through the iphone? Can anyone download the app to their phone w/o buying the piano?

Buy it, but not build it. Keep the box sealed and keep it in a dry save place for 10 years. This item is going expensive in the future as collectors item.
can it play custom MIDIs files?

Okay for 400$ you should be able to play each individual key and not just press them like for 400$ is how much my electronic piano costs and look I’m not hating on Lego just because it’s Lego I love Lego I even bought the Stratocaster as that’s the guitar I actually have and that’s expensive but I love it
thanks mommy
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Was waiting to see how they figured out how to make it playable with just one sensor. I reach the end of the video and surprise, you can’t actually play it, just pretend playing it. What a letdown
wish the keys were as a real piano as this seems just like a kiddies toy not a great masterpiece
That's silly. The piano sounds are coming from the iPhone. If the iPhone volume was turned down all you would hear is plastic clicking noises. So its not a musical instrument, its plastic Legos.
