Many of you ask me for name of the songs I use in my videos. All songs are from Epidemic sounds. They are from Sweden and I love them.
I will soon publish a list of songs I use. Also, I use a lot of sound effects If you listen closely. They are also from here! You can actually try them for free for 30 days. I have found no service even close to them and most youtubers use them for that reason. This is an affiliate link so this is the best day ever for you, me and them if you try it!

jeg bliver så forvirret, er du fra Danmark?
I don't know if you read all comments, but I'll try to reach out to you anyway. I thought about the knot you used to tie the strings together (råbandsknop, don't know an English name). Maybe the strings didn't always snap but instead it was the knot that gave out? There are probably better knots for this purpose. I would try fiskarknop. Here's a video tutorial for that. czcams.com/video/3aR6J-sOK3Q/video.html
Dude I just noticed that the music in the description is the video title
He’s from Sweden
Loved the pink panther
yo this is actually an insane amount of work
I'm a piano tech
Putting strings on is probably the worst part of my entire job
Hahaha yeaah... it was😂
@Jasson Poirier I can tune a piano in 90 minutes
Restringing takes hours and requires multiple full tunings, and that's if you're stretching the strings manually, if you let them stretch naturally it takes days before it's ready
And money
Now he has to put piano strings back on
I highly respect the amount of depression and anxiety this probably caused.
never again plz
Let’s Change subject please😂
@@Mattiaskrantz why would u torture urself like this my friend 😂😂😂 good job tho the way u shot this video was very cool.
Mattias Krantz so whens the “I PUT NYLON STRINGS ON A PIANO” vid coming out?
@@lvrbass
Would the cuts from strings breaking be better or worse?
this is actually hella impressive, I'm surprised it worked at all tbh

Wow you are here
Thanks Joe! Yeah haha same

"Number 5: I need to buy 210 guitar strings"
Me: So this is how math problems are created
Underrated comment
More if you count the variable of many of them breaking in the process
🤣 that’s fabulous!
Piano has 88 keys, but some keys have 3 strings per note
wow, I wasn't expecting it to sound like an actual guitar piano hybrid but it does
oh hello
recommended?
Especially on the left hand. Kind of grungy. I like it.
Hi guys, what’s up!
@@Mattiaskrantz I was expecting more of a piano soundlike honestly. Really hard there, thanks for your time
Someone tell jared dines this man made a 210 string guitar.
Hahaha
Thank you😂😂
0 frets 210 string guitar
@@erikgelfat367 but the sustaaaaaaiiiin
But...
Does it djent?
im the piano technician and tunist, you know why that sounds is muted when you are playing, it is because you forgot to insert the strings in the pressure bar between tuning pins, i also congratulate you for your determination in piano tuning, good job 😅
_Mattias: starts cutting piano strings_
_Every fan of his that's a musician:_
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
im not even a musician and i had the exact same reaction
@@Fighter_Builder it's hurts
Whyyyy amskxkaozla
Me being a pianist feeling all of the pain:
I could of used those....
As a pianist, I screamed when you started cutting the strings.
They are soo much expensive here in Brazil. I felt the same as you.The strings were in a good condition too, they were not bad, they were a bit rusty, but OMFG 230 string cost 4000R$ here in Brazil, and I'm not counting the price that the tuner would charge for doing the service of putting all strings.
Sorry for my english, I hope you have a great day.
My heart broke and my family’s ancestral cow passed out
As a human being, me too
Not a pianist but I started to scream too
@@MiruKado 🤣
now call up a piano technition, and ask him whats wrong with ur piano.
And when he say that these are not Piano strings, tell him that the music shop attendant assured it that they are.
HAHAHA pls do that
This comment chain is so good. I’m the worlds worst actor but I will see what I can do😂
Just say that the piano was passed down for years as an heirloom, looks old enough right?
You just bought it on eBay and want to know if it can be tuned and fixed. Lmao please do it !!

7:02 they had us in the first half, not gonna lie
I just discovered a new deeper meaning for the word ''determination''
This was a quicker build than Martin Molin's MMX.
you cannot spell it without Termination
and "maniacality"
I love your videos
You spelled “masochism” wrong
I'm scared when changing strings on my guitar and this guy just did a whole piano.
Hahaha😂
I don't get why people are afraid to change strings. I haven't even played for a year (i do play a lot though) and I've changed them like 6 times because i destroy them so fast. It takes like 15 minutes to do all of them.
Squid Master coming from someone who was struck in the eye by a b string (whilst wearing glasses) there will come a time where you fear tuning too
@@oscareo754 if your head isn't right next to the guitar there is literally no way a broken string can hit your eye lol. Quit whispering in its ear while you're restringing it.
Squid Master you don’t understand the guitar needs positive affirmation while being tuned for it to sound right
I don't play piano but seeing the strings get cut so quickly and violently had my heart totally stopping in my chest
I usually don’t leave comments, but after seeing that price tag.... this guy needs all the support he can get
Thank you Tom😂🙏🙏
@@Mattiaskrantz next is harp with guitar string
Tom LeBlanc Offspring 🔥
mad respect for this guy willing to sacrifice so much for us
Thank you😂
Mattias Krantz I would quit after the first string, you are extremely dedicated
Much respect this is one of my favorite videos!! It was so worth the time!!!
I think it was the piano making the sacrifice but yeah that was a ton of work lol. I wonder though if cutting the strings in order maybe tweaked the harp a bit?
Just some advice from someone who has restrung a piano before:
- Personally I suggest cutting the strings off between the pressure bar and the tuning pins as it is a lot safer. If you want you can even carefully use the angle grinder to cut all the strings off.
- After restringing the piano I suggest putting the capo bar back on but in your case you used thin guitar strings so they would have probably broke when you screwed it in anyway.
- Also for the Bass overstrung section if possible try using using bass guitar strings but I doubt they will fit through the tuning pins anyway.
fact: A set of new piano strings would be cheaper than guitar strings coming in at around $800 or so.
Really good job of the video 👍
You should do harp strings next!
When my father was 12, he actually did this to a tiny children’s piano in order to teach himself how to play because his family couldn’t afford one. He said he was amazed by this video
The next video should be “How to install new piano strings.” Step 1: remove old guitar strings.....
Step 2: install new harp strings
Step 3. Get new piano.
Step 4: Repeat
@@jameswolfe6195 HA!
I'm amazed you were able to get this to work at all, doubly amazed at how good it ultimately sounded, and triply amazed you actually went through with this huge amount of work. I think anyone else would've given up.
It souns metallic 👍🏼
I amazed about how it worked with the deep tones

Hahaha
So i starterd shooting
As a piano tuner i find your job amazing.
Well done
Hi Mattias, just came across your video. What an amazing thing to do!
I am/was a fellow inventor (when I was younger), and some time ago I worked on what could be called a version of your project that sits at the other end of the spectrum to yours - I designed and built an instrument with 81 electric guitar strings fastened onto 3 vertical wood planks about the same length and thickness as a Gibson SG guitar, and with extra-long electric guitar pickups mounted in them. I made small metal triangle-shaped hammers out of very strong wire, bought a set of upright piano keys and the piano action that went with them from a company that manufactured those, changed the hammers over to mine, built an aluminium frame with lots of triangular shapes to make it all rock solid, married up the piano keys and action to the vertical planks with the strings and pickups, added the usual wiring and an electric guitar lead, then plugged the other end of the lead into a traditional Marshall valve amp for electric guitar and a 4 x 12 speaker cabinet. Then I sat down at the keyboard and played it.
It took 12 years and around £14,000.00 to do this. What was I thinking? It was a labour of love, that's for sure.
The first time I tried playing the instrument was a wonderful moment. I was really satisfied, because all the mechanism and everything really worked, even better than I had expected - so in terms of the design of all that, it was a complete success. But it didn't sound right, for various reasons I eventually was able to figure out over the months that followed. By then I had run out of money though, so I had to pull the plug on the project.
Around 6 years ago I dug out some 8mm film a friend had shot not long after the instrument was finished, of me putting it all together in my bedroom and then playing it. With the help of Great Bear Audio & Video Digitising in Bristol, we turned that old film and photos of some of the notes and drawings I had done during the initial design phase of the work, into a CZcams video.
That video has been on CZcams for the past 6 years, but often I have not gone on there and checked it for many months. Today I did that again and found a few new comments, so I replied to them. Then I saw the link to your video here, and was intrigued and so had a watch.
All I can say about what you have done, is that you are a genius!
I used to play acoustic piano too, and I taught myself how to tune those, so I really appreciate how much effort you had to put into this project, and how difficult it was for you to get it to work.
Inventing is often a challenging business, a solitary one that tends to bring little reward to the inventor, except for the simple satisfaction from achieving the end result itself. And as you well know, it's always expensive. I tip my hat to you!!
I called my instrument the upright electric guitar. Here is a link to the CZcams video, in case you want to take a look:
czcams.com/video/pXIzCWyw8d4/video.html&ab_channel=NelsonJohnson
Great Bear Studios also have a client blog page, and I did a full write-up of the project to create the instrument as seen in the link above, which is still on their blog page, as a "Guest post":
thegreatbear.co.uk/video-tape/8mm-hi8-video-tape-digitising-upright-electric-guitar/
Here's wishing you success in whatever you are up to now. People like us are few and far between these days...
All the best,
Nelson
Friend: "oh can you play guitar?"
Mattias: *YESN'T*
Well ye but actually no
Well technically but not really
i felt my heart break when he snapped all the piano strings. yikes.
Sorry😭
@@Mattiaskrantz I don't have any know how of piano strings but can't you take them off for re use later instead of yanking them?
@@MetaDude ikr
Absolute piano gore. I think every piano tuner cried out in horror at the same time. Pianos may be built to withstand a lot of tension, but they're built to handle EVEN amounts of tension. If he'd loosened the strings by making several passes it would have been much safer for the piano. If he had done it by sequentially cutting every third string, it probably would have been fine too. But man... going from right to left at full tension, I guarantee you he warped the damn thing. Who knows how many cracks were introduced into the wood as well. I know he's probably using some throwaway piano, but good god that was horrifying.
Yeah it was physically painful
I actually really like the way it sounds both before and after tuning. before it was tuned it had a clock chime like sound then after it was tuned had a somewhat ruff but still somber sound.
So much respect for the dedication
And I thought re-stringing a 12 took a lot of time
😂😂
😆
When he cut all those strings i died a little inside
Hahah so sorry
Lol ikr
Me too! And I don't even play the piano.
love the video!! Some extraordinary efforts you’ve put in
it sounds so pretty. i didnt expect it to sound like a guitar cause like pianos and guitar strings are played in two differnt ways but i certainly didnt expect it to sound like this- kinda like an old piano
Imagine having to tune a piano every day for a month until the strings finally set.
All those damn G's.....
Do they do that😅
A piano in production usually gets 2-3 pre tunings and then 2-4 regular tunings
knallfroosch still sounds like a lot of work
The wonder wall doesn’t actually sound too bad on the guiano
No actually not, it’s like it’s made for it😂

guiano?
guiarno?
giarno?

Looking for a full Version! (Subscribed)
I searched up Guiano on CZcams and it took me to a channel named Guiano with over 100k subs.
I respect your dedication to your craft!
Sounds warmer then normal piano strings. Thanks man this is an insane amount of work. Thank you hmm maybe you might consider remaking this video in the future using custom strings or a piano tech
It sounds like one of those old jovial pianos you’d find in a western saloon.
Might’ve found a future use for the old beast😂😂
The good ol’ Honky-tonk sound.
Hannah Crenshaw was thinking the same! Or haunted house.
Why using the Harpischord effect on my electrical piano when I can just buy a piano and replace the strings with 210 guitar strings? I’m so dumb
Yes just ordered a piano bro?
authentic
very dumb of you
exactly
I mean, probably still cheaper than buying an actual harpsichord.
Some of this is beautiful in its own way.
That was amusing and the sound was fun. I admire your persistence.
I believe this is what Adam Neely would call a “high effort meme”
Hahaha thanks😂
some suggestions for you:
- Use bass strings for the lower octaves, they're longer and stronger.
- Start with tuning the lower strings as they add the most tension, and will have the largest overall effect on the other strings tuning.
- But cheap strings like the ones you bought will rarely go above F4 - G4. High quality strings will usually go up to A#5
I know this was just an experiment for the lolz, so I wouldn't expect you to go into too great lengths to make this sound better.
Nonetheless great video!
As if replacing the strings isnt hard enough 🤣
LOL, I was just "LIKE" number 666.
Pianos have to be tuned to harmonics, since the strings are not ideal and the harmonics are progressively sharper the higher the harmonic number. Not a problem on string instruments where there’s
Yes, but I love the sound. Please keep working on it.
He made it this far, it's not the time to quit.
It is actually a tough task. Appreciate your hard work
I just shared this to my 22 yr old grandson. I think it is an amazing person who can not only think out side of the box, but goes ahead and takes it to the moon 🌝 and back and then can say HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW! 🎉

Shut up
Lmao
he coulda solved all these sound issues with an ott or three
@@randommusic4u163 yea u right
Hahaha thank you😂
Props to your commitment! Although it probably doesn’t sound like you intended, you did an incredible job!
This video is so motivational. Now I believe that nothing is impossible, thank you
See you in 4 years when youtube recommends this randomly
See you then Lars😂
IT DID.
Yep
okay
See ya
Who knew: piano + guitar strings = loosely string harpsichord
Hahaha true Kelly
lol you beat me to it
Totally agree!
This is insane 👁👁 what an inspiration
Super Crazy hard work, Nice one bro, nice one.
As a pianist who's also learned how to tune, I cringe. However, I at the same time find the tone appealing in some ways. Quite the experiment.
It's like nails down a chalkboard.
So much out of tune it hurts
@@MrFlashpoint1978 Thank you MrFlash!!!
It was out of tune as a piano, and now it's worse! His mom should be yelling:
"You could have cleaned your room
236 times in the time you wasted on that stupidity!"
You know what...
At least now we know not to do that. Thanks Matt
Its out of tune to imitate at best the average guitar player. Genius
It's just too out of tune to make any kind of assessment.
This is incredible, I hope this video makes back the money and time you spent doing the Lord’s work
“The lords”
He IS the Lord.
What Lord??
Love you guys
The Lord's work? 😂
NOW THIS WAS A REAL CONTENT BRO! 👏👏👏
Subscribed for the amount of work.
Pianist heart attack as he started cutting the strings...
My anxiety went 📈
Broooo frrrr
Can’t make a gui-ano without breaking a few strings
Han dödade pianot och skapade ett monster!
My favorite types of pianos to play are gritty upright ones like that and watching the strings being snapped en masse was painful.
Friend: So you play the piano?
Me: Yes but actually no.
Hahaha😂
you should do a mock hybrid of piano, bass, fishing line and guitar string on the piano...determine which has the best tones in which area and use them there
Bet this took so long yeesh mad respect for effort you put in these videos
When you love to play piano but your crush says she likes guitarists
😂
I will never complain about the time it takes me to restring my 7 string guitar again
Hahaha
Get a set of locking tuners, takes like a quarter of the time to restring
Unless it has a floyd rose.. Then you're fucked
Ramadan Steve I would have shot myself by now if I had a Floyd trem on it or just took it to a luthier😂
I play a twelve string so it takes a fatass minute
Jose Lopez requinto? I also have a 12 string takamine g30
This is really awesome! I'd love to see another version of the same thing but with properly gauged guitar/bass strings
WOW. I'M truly impressed
Lort just changing strings on my floyd rose stressed me out. No idea how you survived this lol
Hahaha I don’t know either😂
I was just bitching about that then I saw this video and I feel better now
Not to be ignorant, but pianists change their strings? :0
Sup Famelot!
@@helenagutierrez284 Not really. This is something that would happen in a piano workshop if the strings are in bad shape. Most of the time piano players don't even tune the piano themselves.
This could 100% be used as an instrument in a horror movie.
Yeah hahaha
The sound is so beautiful
I still can't get over the amount of effort that goes into these videos; so many youtubers have millions of subscribers through doing a lot less work. Honestly, your channel is so underrated!
Does anyone else unironically like the sound of an out-of-tune piano? I work as a videographer, and a lot of the time, clients have random old pianos in their house or garage. They are never in tune, but I always play them anyway. There is something comfy about that sound, as if the piano is saying "don't worry brother, I'm still here for you. I'll do my best"
I create soundtracks and often try to find pianos that aren’t perfect but have some persona. Every time I use the Mrs Mills piano sample set people say it sounds like the Beatles. Well it’s the exactly same piano!
It did hit me right at the start, it gives it a pretty sad extra tone to it, like, trying as well as it can to play it but just not making it by a little.
Honestly, can enhance the song even on some cases (here as an example)... yeah not as badly out of tune as the guitar string one but the beginning, that one sounded honestly awesome.
I think it's formally called a "brasted piano". It works better if the piece is composed with that sound in mind as opposed to River Flows in You. Here's an example I love: czcams.com/video/9OYD-iS5pmI/video.html
"Don't worry brother, I'm still here for you. I'll do my best," sounds like the most wholesome and sad thing I've ever heard
Well it depends... if you can't really notice it bc it still sounds kind of harmonic on it's own it's okay but this E was so horribly out of tune I couldn't take it 😂
The most impressive part about this is that he didn't give up
I impressed myself almost😂
0:30 ok, now I want a full version of Astronomia played on a piano's strings by hand
Love the "fan" that slipped out at 9:57
Also fun to see another swede on youtube =)
Great content mate =D
i just signed up for fender play man. great service
Bro I love you no joke🙏🙏
how is it? honest question
@@A-Wa honestly it's pretty good.
@@Mattiaskrantz thx man appreciate it
Missilion Productions Considering I don’t exactly have in person lessons rn and the guy I was going to, while a great guy and fun to jam with, wasn’t really qualified to teach, I’m considering fender play. should’ve realized that from the beginning. He was a dude in a band at some company party and I was his first ever “student.” Don’t get me wrong, he still taught me an incredible amount of skills, but I feel a real teacher would probably be more effective.
As a huge horror fan I actually really like the sound in the end result.
Lol so true
I hope you got this golden opportunity to record samples from it! It would be super interesting to make a nice VST plugin of this piano 😊
im surprised,you are amazing dude! keep it up
This man really has a portrait of davie casually sitting on his counter
He’s just so beautiful
Slap like now
Do it now
He needs it for therapy session lol
Yah
This version of "River Flows In You" sounds like someone's being chased in an old factory by a mad killer
Honestly it was beautiful I loved it
River of blood flows out of you
You have so much patience bro!!! I can't do this kinds of things!!! Salute! 😁
beautiful sounding
Lets give this guy a billion views so hes work won't be pointless
Hahaha it was for a great cause😂
I hope it does, hes super talented and he would deserve it
I'll share it to my friends
Everybody here is already viewing the video tho...
So, yes. It sounded like a jacked piano. It’s still a hammer on strings.
Hahah yeah good description
like a guitar piano
River flows in you sounds so good on this 😻
I have no idea why but this video nearly brought me to tears, the song was beautiful on the guitano.
lol i remember the comments from the "i put piano strings onto a guitar" and everyone was telling him to do the reverse and the mad lad actually did it
Hahaha😂😂
I was shocked when he cut ALL the strings and not just two octaves!
I didn't think he'd do it, this man is a folk legend
This man deserves more respect
He did everything himself
It wouldn’t be fun if I cheated!
And thank you!!!
The sound is not bad as i expected. Well done.
Great work pal.
Out the box thinking
minus the breaking strings
him: spends days on end on this project
him: anyway, here’s wonderwall
Hahaha I just saw your comment right before the actual wonderwall song.
As a pianist, this activated my fight or flight response.
Hahaha really funny comment for some reason😂
Good job, thank you!
Gave me some goosebumps.
MIDI piano players: yo this is old shit for me
Hahaha
Lmao WORD
Fr tho
HAHAHAHHA It hurts
What the string even is?
Yoooo!! I'm a piano technician in training, this actually was really fun to see. Usually when we restring uprights, we will tip it on its side and it makes the whole process much easier. (our strings usually don't break and we also cut them to the proper length haha). The tuning wasn't bad at the end, definitely could've used improvement, but not bad for a guitar tuning app! You did a great job this makes me want to totally mess up my piano haha.
Also if you ever decide to do more things like this, get a tuning hammer/tuning lever, it's the tool we use to tune. A cheap one may be around $100 or so, but it fits the tuning pins easily and you'll have much more control over the pitch than with a regular ratchet
You can find a much cheaper tuning hammer that will serve his purpose.
But never encourage this kind of Tom foolery.
He could have busted the plate cutting the original wires like that and possibly injured himself when that 35,000 lbs of tension broke loose.
Only a fool with a death wish would attempt something like this.
