Puts a whole new meaning on the term “Electric” Guitar lol. As a fellow electric guitar player, I appreciate your work 👍

Be very, very careful working with higher voltages. Also, expect the strings to deteriorate and tear where the sparks happen.

"I BUILT a piano that *sparks* when it hits the strings!! (then wired up 88 OPERA SINGERS to it so each singer SCREAMS the relevant pitch when it's played!!!)"

Instead of a swatted you could use something like the electric zapper cages for insects, or even a lithium ion battery bank. Only problem with that is you would have to charge the piano, but it would make it so that there are no wires for the technician to spot when trying to figure out what you did. You could use something like rc car batteries.

Another kind of electric piano would be putting electric guitar pickups on every single string of the piano. That would be wild 😂

you need to collab with electroBOOM for this one - he's genius

I love the sound It makes too, but be very careful if you adapt it with a piano that you don't accidentally set it on fire

For some reason this sparks up some memories and ideias from Chopin’s Winter Wind.

This proof of concept looks really cool! My only concern on a piano scale would be over heating, maybe think on some air cooling?

Omg yes... It needs to go on a grand piano. Will look amazing with the lid up in a darkened room ☺️

Now Mattias is like Thor even more, he’s Lord of the electric pianos and sparks 😁😎

Idk why but This one sparks joy

It would be cool if you could create an arc between the strings and hammer, or make bigger sparks

I wonder if it's possible to do it so you get it to spark without being touched, so the spark itself plays the string

This sounds like an electroboom project! Maybe you should do a collab with him for this project :D

Imagine electricially charged hammers for every key of the piano, you could put on a light show with enough of those! Nice!

nice test. interesting new concept here, would be dangerous but cool, good luck mattias.

Instead of the hammer you could have a butcher glove, like chainmail gloves. Then you could play the guitar with sparks flying. It should actually be doable safely, since current takes the path of least resistance. Just have some insulation under the glove. Probably better and safer to switch around so you have ground in the gloves and live wire in the guitar though. Try to get Electroboom to collab with you.

a sparking piano like that, in an upright configuration, in a glass casing. that would be killer in a performance in the dark

This looks pretty sick. Stay safe!

Nice one. Can't wait for final video

Cool concept.

One idea would be that the frame of the piano would be connected to ground and high frequency and high voltage would be applied to the hammers the could all be commoned together. This would make pretty arcs.

Nice!

Hello 👋 good buddy Mattias that is super neat 👌 it's untelling what you will come up with next you are super amazing guy 👦

Using 12v and a coil for sparkplugs will give you great sparks art nr 53-400 and 35-2675 is all you need 🤩

Cool!

Mattias goes electroboom

The idea is so cool. Please conect/colaborate with someone who knows a lot about electricity because it can get realy dangerous. Stay save!

you know alot of old player pianos have a pedal for a harpsichord sound with a row of felt strands with metal end that hits the string. so if you put that in a piano and hook it up to positive then you wouldn't have to do it on the hammer pianos!

AUGUST 6, 2022: "KZfaqR DIES IN BIZARRE HIGH-VOLTAGE PIANO MODIFICATION EXPERIMENT"

Wow

Yo what thats crazy

Oohoooo

This is siiiiiiiiiick! (I’m an engineer.)

Please tell me you're going to use the piano to play AC/DC's Thunderstruck

Just dont burn down your house and very valuable E piano

Get yourself an (non electronic) ignition coil used to drive spark plugs, a 12v battery and build some mechanism to resemble the contact breaker. Voilá 15.000 Volts and a nice bright spark.😁

Plz don't die Mattias 😭

You see the little orange sparks that come off of it? That's pieces of metal from the hammer and string Don't know how much but it's definitely going to decrease the strings' lifespan

Have a look at Franzoli Electronic channel. He uses flyback transformers to create butiful arcs that are PWM controlled and make music by them self (not Tesla coils). That would be beautiful on a piano(strings) where the arc plays a different tune to you hitting te snares with the hamers?

You can maybe use the arc itself to make sound, we all know thunder has a great, rolling bass sound so it should get possible to get different pitches out of it.

Maybe ask Elektroboom for even bigger sparks. 😁

techno rave piano incoming?

Electroboom electric guitar

You're an engineer and everything. But please please be careful. I just saw an article about someone getting electrocuted from something like this. I'd rather see you play river runs through a thousand times than see you do something potentially dangerous ❤️

Something very big incoming I see

ask electroboom, he's expert

Low power electric fence maybe? Or a car battery for overkill XD

You could use the piano with hammers. Because they are metal you should be able to do the same sort of thing

You could ask ElectroBoom for a circuit, maybe he will build something for you

If you get one of those guitar grip devices on the neck and then play in a glove using a metal pick that's connected to the swatter...you should be able to play guitar without shocking yourself! Could be kinda cool.

I find the lack of Tesla coils disturbing.

Call electroboom

If you want something stronger, there old neon sign transformer or microwave oven transformers which should make bigger sparks but are more dangerous

Electric fence transformer?

Those are some nasty impulses on my speakers. 😅

Why did you use the helium guitar

Contact electroboom 🤣

a taser is stronger?

Wouldn’t it be cool if you had an electric pick to the guitar?

RIP headphone users lol

I would be concerned about a potential fire hazard with doing this with more power inside a wooden piano with things like the padding and whatnot which could all potentially catch easily. fire retardants on the surfaces inside the piano and a fire extinguisher on standby may be apt precautions

What‘ll be the point of it? It sure looks cool, but what is the intend here?

Dumbest idea I've ever seen. Subscribed

Ta det lugnt med el. En video är inte värd en sjukhusvistelse.

Use electric guitar strings.
