Was there any Hellas or Fazer pianos?

Sliprings should be prone to noise, but mostly at high-speeds, so you should be good THERE. But a good wireless shouldn't have this white noise unless the signal is really noisy in input, do you have a oscilloscope to see where it come from? For just the chords sound quality, have you tried a turned hollow machined wood for sound improvement for the mast? (+bonus structural rigidity, depending on wall thickness). You're also having noise coming from resonnance between the opposite chords (way more coupled than a traditional guitar), the mounting of the pickups seems also very prone to vibrations. Check also different types of bearings (conical and needles?) and a direct drive motor (having a bigger one can improve the balance, but more complexity to drive).

Nice

Cool

untuned piano vibes sounded really good to me imho

I have seen a lot of videos of people playing instruments very similar to this, I would be very interested in getting one of these. If they ever get into production, I’d love to find out about it

Octagon next? With a slight radius ons each flat.

please tell me you patented this masterpiece

100 years? Full armor, lower shock absorbers ... ))))

That does not appear to be 100 years old. That cabinet style did not exist 100 years ago. And none of the parts appear to be anywhere near 100 years old. But have fun with it

Grotrian Steinweg were started by Heinrich Steinweg who later became Henry Steinway. These pianos are high end and valuable instruments. Tuning bass first can wreck your bridge and board etc. How to tune your piano? Go to college and learn to tune by ear, or get a trained tuner to teach you. Better still pay someone who knows what they are doing. That pianos been restored.

7.15... this is of course the ending of The Beatles " Day In The Life".

A tuned piano makes all the difference. Now, lets talk about extensions ... too funny.

I have two questions : does IKEA really make Pianos ? And do they come disassembled ?🤣

Have you tried a noise canceling effect? Try it with the guitar pluged direct to an interface. So you can cancel the Room noise and feedback, if it keeps making noise put a noise canceling plugin. Have you tried that?

“Slip ring.” Aka, Buckethead kill switch! 😂

Could you try to make a spider harp

Could be the stepper motor driver. Is it setup correctly?

...make sure you get a pattent... you're on to something there...

I dont understand. Which gauge is the thickest string?

I'm sure I tried the wrench method as a kid, before I bought a tuning hammer. In the 1960s, when I was about 14, I bought a hammer and used a library book, "How to Tune a Piano" and tuned our old upright. My parents didn't have much money and refused to get it tuned. As an adult, I went through two new upright pianos and tuned them both myself, but sometimes hired a tuner, if I wanted some notes voiced differently or whatever. I did a decent job without a tuner, long before cell phones, but when electronic tuners first became affordable and widely available, that made it easier. Still, tuning was tedious for me and very time consuming, like I'd do it over three days. Anyway, there is a technique I think most tuners use called "let-off" that helps seat the pin in the pin block, and that is with each note, lower the pitch just a little from the existing pitch, before bringing it up to the correct pitch. I believe the theory is the wood has formed around the pin at the existing flat pitch, so bringing it back in pitch, counter clock-wise, helps kind of shape the wood around the pin. I'm sure I could read up on that somewhere. The Internet is a game-changer for finding information about pianos. The other thing that technique made me feel better about was using let-off, not breaking a string. Often, with old pianos, they will have certain notes that go out of tune quickly, or too many notes that do that. But sometimes a new piano will do that. I know because I had one. My first brand new piano, a Baldwin, a real lemon, had a defect in that way. I should have returned it. It would go out of tune further in two weeks than my next piano would go in four years. The second piano was amazing at holding tune. But, ultimately, although not a pianist, even though I've played since I was five, I like a piano that is in perfect tune, and so later in life went with a Roland digital. But I like MIDI for composing also. I got spoiled in music school by first playing a lot of Steinway pianos, many which were not very good at all, including the occasional B or D, and then later in music school in Vienna, all Bösendorfer grands, a few which I liked. My playing doesn't warrant such a great piano though and I'm fine with the Roland, as being in tune is the #1 thing for me. The Grotrian seems like a terrific bargain. My brother bought a real hunk of junk upright 35 years ago for $1000.

If you made it a twelve (or twenty four) string guitar, you could pick or bow it or wheel the strings like a reverse hurdy-gurdy and in an open tuning you could use a curved slide, and it'd be AWESOME

I want that, it’s cool and I would just want it to play

What about lidar? That could work in theory..

Hey bro.. are you thinking of making the instrument from the 80’s movie the masters of the universe ?! If so I think that you are on the right path.. smaller later.. as all tech is..

You can tune a piano, but can you tuna fish?

If Mark Rober was a swedish musical maniac :

Where is that Beatles video?

Speechles just

Think you should change how the pedal (spinning) works to personally. Full forward on the pedal shouldn't be "full speed one way", but instead, full foreward on the pedal should sit the high strings on top, and full backward should sit the low strings on top. Ie: If you wanna play on the high strings you press the pedal foreward, and if you wanna play on the low strings you press the pedal back. If you want the strings in the middle, you let the pedal rest. (Additionally maybe you make it so; from nuetral, it will reach the high strings and keep going until it comes back around a seconed time. This will allow for quick swapping of the string from high to low without having to go all the way back around.) If you wanna keep the spinning mode, I'd suggest a switch to make it work the two different ways, because as it stands, the spinning mode is cool, but ultimately kinda useless unless you tune it wierd.

improvements! i don't know if this is a good idea or not (probably bad idea), but what if you put more circular bridges in some middle sections of the -minigun barrel- neck?

The pickups don't need to follow the strings to work, really, as long as there's no gaps in the electronic fields. You could mount all the electronics on a stationary setup and only have the strings rotate so there's no need for rotating electronics. Consider blade style pickups which use a long blade instead of slugs to make a more steady field

you could just use the audio blug, it is round isn't it? if you could center the female side and than mount the male side to the non rotating part may be it would work.

use noise gate

There are definitely noiseless wireless adapters but they will cost you a lot of money. On your wired setup you need to have twisted cable pairs, that will eliminate noise significantly.

make the pickups in one place at the bottom like a guitar is because its a guitar and make the strings rotate around them. the pickups are magnets and the strings are nickel which are magnetic and it might be messing up your vibration. your vibration is the sound

"Let's not touch that" Spoken like a true engineer

hard to tell without measuring just from the sound levels, but can be like there is a impedance missmatch that causes the wireless circuit to run hotter than normal current levels. Also obviusly the spinny thing will make noise with all those unshielded cables aka antennas, I'm surprised you didn't get alien signals when you connected that spaghetti

As @astronometic had touched on this, I think having lots of pickups rotating and not disengaging when out of position is likely introducing a lot of noise. You essentially have pickups generating individual magnetic fields picking up signals from the back. Maybe inhibiting the signal from 1/2 of the strings that are around back could help by virtue of reducing the noise floor and mitigating any inadvertent sounds from handling the instrument. Maybe something akin to the slip ring, but with an insulated half-circle preventing signal from passing into the jack for the pickups that are facing back.

Try and get Tim Henson to play it

Why not spin player choose Avery string Mark liked tu playing. Sory may language to bad

How heavy is it compared to a normal guitar?

That’s gotta be some sus wiring my g

Singlecoils always have hum, so when you put god knows how many single-coil mics in a single guitar you will obviously get that much more hum. I wonder if a dummy coil would help with it?

the guitar jack is already rotatable , u just need to make a jig that hold the jack wire in place .u just need to make the jack stationary with the body of the guitar

Stupid question? Why having the pick-up rotating with the strings? There is no way to have a cluster of pickups or a big fixed pick-up at the core with the strings rotating around it? I guess that it may cause some sort of stuttering when each individual string enteres and exits the magnetic field, but it could actually sound interesting? Like, instead of thinking of this instrument as a guitar, it could become an instrument on its own? Does a pickup that has a 360° magnetic polar pattern even exist? Another thing: A violin bow needs rosin to work and it works way better with flatwound strings, so that the bow have more surface to catch. I'm kinda imagining this instrument laying flat like a lapsteel guitar, fretted with a bottleneck, strung with a pick or bow and with a pedal that controls the speed of the neck rotation.

がんばってくれ〜〜〜応援してる〜〜〜！！

What kind of dongle are you using for wireless atm? You could try one of the Rode wireless lavmic packs for professional broadcasting, they might work. Generally, professional audio solutions work better than “random receiver I found”, but I wasn’t able to check out what you were using. Alternatively, an aptx-LL (low latency) dongle might help, but they still have 50ms delay or so (you will be able to notice it)

RUN A CRYSTAL/ALUMINUM BALL ON THE STRINGS PLEASE

Any slipring recommendation that has a smaller diameter than 24mm? Actually the one I got here might exist in smaller size. One thing is we also need the threaded rod to go through it, so this design seems solid. What is your experience with sliprings? Everyone tells me they are soooo terrible, but to me, at least this one sounds just like a cable connection. Even with many open solder joints I had in this test
