- Do pianos go out of tune easily? I bought a 120-year-old piano to test. It's really good and it withstood all the tests!

Just shows how well a 120 year old woodworm infested piano was made.
Imagine taking a hammer to a Roland Synthesizer and watching the parts shatter and fly away in all directions.
🤣
very few items in today's world are made with quality materials and labor and everything including our US food supply has been cheapened to the extreme with synthetic materials, chemicals and processes to make things artificially cheap in record high inflation levels ever since the late 70s. people think most prices are reasonable because they have no clue how cheaply made it all is, even the stuff not made in china. only the top 1% can afford pure food and luxury goods and services with the best materials and labor, the rest of us 99% are gaslighted into believing everything is ok when it's not even remotely close to it.
I'm glad you mentioned woodworm infested because I was crying to see the hammer.
@Lord_Vinheteiro Good idea, please test this next time 😂
Its very out of tune. Dont you hear it?
Ahhhhhh you can See the discomfort on His face
Had it too, lmao
Aqui é Brasil ele gosta de funk
yeah brazil funk feijão
I sounds terrible. It needed tuning before he even started pounding on it!
😂
To all the people who are annoyed because he's hitting the piano with a hammer, it's because the wooden structure of the piano is contaminated by worms, and they can migrate to other wooden objects, so it has to be destroyed.
I wonder if there is a heaven for destroyed pianos. Maybe, because there is definately a hell for unexperienced playing of pianos.
Worms or not, I feel sick 🤣
This. (It's infested with termites, to be specific)
Poor piano... I think he could use it to perform "Great balls of fire" as a last hurrah for the piano, so it goes on a blaze of glory...

Whats the song he plays after he hits it with a hammer
From early experience, I found it is really hard work to destroy, dismantle, and dispose an old upright grand piano. The cast metal harp did not give way even to repeated sledge hammer assaults. 🤪
I could take the metal harp, but I was afraid the termites invade my house.
Metal blade on a sawsall did the trick on an old upright in my basement
Spent more than a week on one. The cabinet was built around the harp after installation, had to cut it in half with an angle grinder to get it out. Five hundred pounds of cast iron connected to a 6" thick hard maple frame with 36 5/8" bolts.
There used to be a wrecking contest where they had to pass all the parts through a 12" square hole.
@@rwsmith7638 czcams.com/video/BBbovkT-HQU/video.html lol!
If the piano can survive that deathly stare a hammer's not going to damage it.
I concur...
😂
The death stare is usually directed at, and through, the camera, not at the piano.
I did not survive the shock test! Gonna take some work to bring my mind back into tune after that wanton piano abuse!
same
Whats crazy is that a piano that was originally worth 1000s is worth nothing. Very few want to buy one .. or want to have to transport or relocate them. Can barely give them away
Usually due to woodworm or the cost to remove & transport said piano could exceed the value of the piano itself.
Not even including re-tuning a piano...
That is true, it’s possible to find many pianos for free nearby. I think I passed on 3 or 4 offers over the years.
There's a bechstein piano going for free near me and it's only the cost of transport and possible tuning that stopping me getting it. (Although pianos do take up alot of space too
It's just such a shame .. something that can create so much joy and educate can become so worthless so fast... even from original purchase.. the deprecation is almost instantaneous... its like buying a new Mercedes Ben's and then it worth 10% the cost the next day.
I will say, if it is possible, save the ivories! In the US, Canada, and many other countries, ivory is banned from being sold, any ivory. Old or new. You are allowed to give it away, but you can’t sell it, or purchase it. So it is very hard to replace a missing or broken ivory, it’s good to have some extra for spares.
"hammering the keys". Literal thinker and doer. Noice!
I've watched so many of your brilliant videos. You help make the world a much better place for so many people. Still, it hurts to watch a piano be treated in such a way.
I agree. there are not a lot of pianos that make it to this age. and just to see one abused like this is panful. but depending on what was going to happen to this piano anyway, at lest we got something useful out it.
It would be destroyed anyway, because it was infested. I think it was a glorious ending, demonstrating strength. That's the intention of the video.
@@viniciuslemos08 how can you tell it was infested?
@@neimrxcharix574It was mentioned by him from another comment, that it was infested by termites.
I been watching your vids for years I appreciate your content 🇩🇴🤝🇧🇷
Thanks man!
I felt the pain of this video in my very core 💀
Now I wonder what would it take to quickly make it go out of tune
a cold day
Fire would help.
hammering the strings
Defenestration probably.
Wire cutters. (Wear safety glasses)
I've never played a piano in my life, and the closest I've ever come to one is because there was one at the entrance to the university.
I don't know why, but I felt distressed that he was being damaged even more.
As an architect, I've learned to appreciate and try to preserve things that have withstood the test of time.
That hammering on the piano keys was one of the worst things ever 😢😭
Sawing may have been worse
Grow up. He did that because the piano was infested with mites and had to be killed. Please stop hating.
Sounded better after the hammer treatment - blown the cob webs out of it...
..
Might be an idea to keep the harp and see if you can play it with xylophone mallets?.
Quite controversial piano treatment according to the comments..
..
I think this video should have backing music:
Queens: hammer to fall playing in the background...

Can you play Sonata for two pianos in d major in your next video?
Yes. The mozart sonata? I love this piece!
@@Lord_Vinheteiro Me too yes please
I looked away from my screen at the end, and you couldn't believe the speed I turned my head back to the screen when I heard the saw.
cool test, would never of thought to do a video about this
I would consider buying any piano of yours that you were trying to sell because you above any other person knows these instruments and understands there personalities. Great video my friend. God bless.
A couple of years back, I was painting a rehearsal room at a local conservatorium and was told that by one of the lecturers that the paint fumes could send the grand piano in the room out of tune.
I once ate rice that was prepared in a freshly painted kitchen, and the rice tasted of paint.
I was also told to avoid using hot glue inside my gun safe, because some glue can release formaldehyde, which is worse than humidity itself in rust prevention.
@@replacesoundboard I wrote the comment to see how many people would notice that the lecturer was clueless about how paint (and pianos) worked.
Your sense of taste is strongly linked to the sense of smell. There's a good chance that you "tasted" paint because you could smell it in the room.
Acid causes rust quickly. Some sealants and glue release acid (detected by a vinegar scent while curing). Acid-cured sealants and glues (usually identified as "adid cure" on the container) are not recommended with ferrous metals.
I'm not aware of formaldehyde causing rust but it's plausible. It's unlikely that hot glue releases formaldehyde or any other chemicals into the air but hot glue itself might contain chemicals that cause rust.
You can test a glue by applying it to a small piece of untreated mild steel and putting the steel into a plastic container with a loose-fitting lid. Then leave the container in a warm place near your sink for a few days. Avoid that kind of glue if rust appears on the steel.
@@andymanaus1077 Nah, I didn't eat the rice in the room where the paint was. I brought rice prepared at home (in the recently painted kitchen) to school a few years back. And when it tasted funny, I asked someone else to smell it, and they told me: "it smells a bit of paint".
Fascinante! 🖖Vida longa e próspera.
I love this channel!
When you started hammering that piano: 😧
When you started SAWING that piano: 🤯
Thats a good interpretation of Hammerklavier
Turned a Piano into a Hammer Dulcimer like magic
I could take the piano harp for me.
Every hit felt like a stake pinned in heart
that piano what a half step below the tuning that it’s supposed to be (it’s not a fortepiano so it wouldn’t be tuned anything lower than A4=435. Normal pitch now is A=440.) it was already out of tune anyway
The most brutal piano video I've ever seen
This video hurts me inside
It hurt me more than it did you.
Ouch, that hurt to watch. 😊 I haven't tuned my piano since way before Covid. I have a device in it to control humidity, which helps somewhat to keep it from going out of tune, but it's finally sounding horrible. I hope I haven't ruined it. Do you piano players out there tip piano tuners? 20%?
I have never heard of anyone tipping a piano tuner. Ever. The ones here just set a price that they deem fair pay.
I don't think you'll have ruined it. It may take several visits over a period of time to get it back in tune but it'll take more than letting it go out of tune to damage it permanently.
@@mfbfreak Something something "it's socially mandatory in America". I don't get it either.
Is it from the Titanic?
Older than titanic!
you can see the pain in his eyes when he's hitting it with the hammer
Bravo! Viva Vinheteiro! Smashing performance!
All he had to do for termites was move the piano into the garage, spray it lightly (inside and out) with Tempo or other insecticide and in a few days just wipe over with damp cloth and move on into house.
You play so good I wish you could play La Campanella!
Mr. Vinheteiro can you play the pipe organ? If you want get a digital pipe organ for home you can try find these brand:
1. Allen(Highly recommend to choose this brand)
2. Viscount
3. Rodgers
4. Johannus
5. Content Organ
Thank You!
I recommend a different saw for that job. Maybe start with a manual rip saw. Then if that’s too slow go ahead and move up to a reciprocating saw or as a last resort to a chain saw.
Voilà très Magnifique! ❤
his face says: if you sign now, no piano will be harmed again
0:22 BEHIND THE SCENES - Vinheteiro want to learn a new piece and fail
A new piano should be tuned every 6 months and then once every year thereafter as needed. However, there should be a dehumidifier inside it and the dehumidifier kept plugged in. The reason for that is any moisture will tend to cause parts of the piano to swell. Also, moisture will cause the strings to corrode, requiring restringing and tuning. In places like Hawaii, where the humidity is relatively high, a dehumidifier is a must. Pianos will tend to keep their tuning when moved, but they should be moved carefully, as any shock could cause it to go out of tune. It’s usually best to check the tuning after it has been moved.
So, Valhallan funeral pure afterwards for the mercied piano, good sir?
Lordao volta fazer podcast vc e muito mais engraçado que muitos humoristas por aí!!!!
VINHETEIRO: This piano seems out of tune
ME: Seems your carpentry skills will be put to test.
Sir,.. You aré very crazy!, I am loving..
Does it stay tuned in a submersible though
Ask Angela Hewitt about the destruction of her piano when it was dropped by movers in 2020.. Mind you, I wonder if my ear could have told the difference. I never saw a picture of the broken instrument.
Vinheteiro. O que vc acha daquela marca de pianos que é fabricada aqui no Brasil em SP? Fritz Dobbert.
Ele não recomenda marcas nacionais.
You sent that out of tune with all that hammering.
Maniacal perfection! 😍
DO! RE! MI! FA! SO! LA! TI! DO!
Gotta hammer home the basics, it's the only way to learn! 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Why would you saw wood with a metal saw?
That’s what triggered you? I’d like to believe he put the crosscut panel saw back and grabbed the hack because he saw these questions coming. Like, why go claw when the sledge is the tradition? Strange times.
Dont hurt your hands swinging that hammer 😂
You start with a saloon tune (I don't know what else to call it) and end with a saloon tune, so I guess it's okay.
It's Frederyk Chopin's Scherzo no. 2, actually!
I'm sure this piece is way more than just a saloon tune, and I'd just like to clarify this. Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify! :)
🤔 in my case : when tap single note on piano 🎹 one tuts not produce tune? It will same treatment ?
Spetacular.❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
And this is Hammerklavier
I imagine an episode of pawn stars were the store asks Lord Vinheteiro about abandoned pianos.
Vinheteiro's Concerto for piano, hammer and saw.
Yeah, this could be the next hit from sony music. I would like to have the rights!
What are the pieces being played?
And he's saaaawing a Steinway to heaven🎶
I don't know what I just saw (including other videos on the channel).
Subscibed non the less.
Omg! As an owner of a Yamaha baby-grand piano this video gave me anxiety. lol
Especially that sawing at the end. I was like NOOOOOO~WHY!
Finally I hear a melody on this channel that I can play.
Now try mucking with the humidity and see how it affects tuning.
Chaotic evil musical talent

But will it blend?
What is the second Song He plays?
My grandmother had an old upright. She said it had to be tuned every time it was moved. We had piano lessons...and God help us if we banged on it.
Everytime I hear that.
@@Lord_Vinheteiro My grandmother's piano was from the late 1800s. She and my grandfather bought it second hand when they married in the early 1920s.
Why is it in the bed of your pickup?
😂 Loved this!
Cara... doeu na alma isso.
That's good to know.
That piano has such good quality
0:23 you like playing piano just as much as I like going to dentist
Sawing the 120-year old piano with a hacksaw... What a barbaric action! It should be done with a wood-working saw! :)
Hola te escribo de Argentina te reto a que toques una de Pablito Lescano de damas gratis en el piano
I was crying a bit for that poor piano then...
I pitch raised/tuned from middle C now. I can't do it in one go. it's too much effort on this old thing. I sometimes really get stuck on a string, really have to guess the amount I have to go sharp in order to have it settle at the correct pitch on some. Btw the treble section was higher in pitch, and the middle section was lower in pitch. I basically reset all strings again and settled them at correct pitch. tomorrow bass section, but it's a bitch. It's probably not worth a fine tuning, but I will just go over everything to make sure there aren't any crazy things going on and whether the octaves are reasonable.
You should have played Verdi's Anvil Chorus on it.

Sing: I can't watch you kill me, wonderful tool.
O Lordão c é maluco de ficar macetando o piano com o martelo (só vc mesmo KAKAKAKA)
A piano was killed in the making of this video.
My favorite instrument
The first/ last piece is a chopin scherzo and the second piece is the "easy" Mozart C Major Sonata
OUCH!!! I was in so much pain watching this... 😅
What did you do to the piano😢
Schockproof?
@Vinheteiro Is a Piano a percussion instrument or a stringed instrument? I think it is stringed. I would ask, does a guitar become a percussion instrument when you use a plectrum? Then does it become a stringed instrument when you use just your fingers? I think just because hammers are used to strike the strings on a piano doesn't mean it is percussion. What do you think?
For me, the piano is classified as key instrument. But in early school I learned it was a percussion instrument.
@@Lord_Vinheteiro Ah, very interesting, I have never heard of this distinction before. Thank you for replying.
I hope you were able to save the plywood or pegboard that those strings were resonating inside of. I've heard you can build a below average scheißhaus with those. Beautiful playing though, as always.
Regardless of how hard the keys are struck, the action of the piano cannot transfer enough energy to the strings to cause them to go out of tune. Simple mechanics. But - the hammering of the keyboard made me cringe.
Sometimes you have to destroy a piano, sadly. Have you ever tried to give away a piano that no one wants? Or that no one wants to haul away? Termites are a good reason to dispose of a piano, also having a flood, or other exposures to the weather. It’s sad, but sometimes necessary.
Just use it as an outside piano if it's full of woodworm, either that or push it off a cliff and record the sound it makes! 😄👍
Você comprou o piano cheio de cupim equivocadamente, ou foi só pra fazer conteudo no canal msm? ou foram as duas coisas kkkkkk?
Foi pra fazer conteúdo. Mas os cupins me fizeram desfazer dele o mais rápido possível.
Gênio
I had this playing in the background an I had the teeth clenching pleasure of having to suffer through that audio.
don't hurt the piano !!
Dont fret. The piano wanted it like that.
Stop it! now! wait a moment... This is your piano, not mine. ok go on!
