As a piano technician, I can say this is an excellent diagram of the piano action. I will use this in the future!
Awesome! Thanks Thomas
I've always wondered how the C, D, and E strings make their sounds. It's hit with a hammer, and you said the length affects it. On a clavichord, however, some notes share strings. Do those sound the same, or are they plucked in a certain way? Why do those notes exist, then, if they sound the same. What happens if you play both?
@@WomenCallYouMoid Some notes on a piano can share a string, but each one gets its own spot on the bridge. Also, because the tension is so high on piano strings, the small changes made on one string don’t affect the other string at all, except in extreme cases, like when replacing a string.
@@JaredOwen what is the name of the song in the outro?

thanks tom and jerry already thought me this tho
Phosnerd I’m actually surprised the show I love actually done their homework on this. More reason to love them.
WTH me too LOL
???
They should have taught you english.
what
Now I understand why pianos is *so damn expensive*
Same
LANGUAGE, You should get in trouble for saying inappropriate words.
Ya, *are so dang expensive (shame)
@@sachastadhard you should get in trouble for acting like CZcams pays you to monitor people's posts..
@Sacha Stadhard STFU nobody cares its the internet get over it
Pianist: Leaves lid open
Dust: I’m about to end this piano’s whole career
Just get a leaf blower
@@RainytheNB yes
Its crazy how complex the key thing is and that are 80 of them
88 keys...But yes, crazy complex...and ingenious!
It is not that complex. Actually it is mechanically simple.
Well, you get what you pay for

@@connortraynor2408 ....
Professional presentation.
Thanks!
Underrated channel you have over here
Think it might be for calling it with his name instead of... How stuff works (which i think already exists) but a title like that would draw in more people.
this is why the grand piano worth 14 000$ it soo hard to make and cant be made by machines
@@thamuzm2684 To be honest the automobile is harder to make and its made by thousands of robots and some people. Cutting metal parts that are tough is more difficult that cutting wood too.
@@majortom4543 - This is Ground Control to Major Tom, you've really made the graAaAde, and the papers wants to know who shirts you wEaRrR, now it's time to leave the capsule if you DaReee
Channel name is important
Calling it a personal stuff like a name is against the Channels overall success
So is a piano just a giant guitar?
Similar yes :)
Yes. A giant guitar struck by keys and not fingers
pianos are more similar to a harp, actually there is a piano type called harpsichord
@@majortom4543 the harpsichord an instrument from the keyboard family not a type of piano
@@majortom4543 if anything, a piano is a type of harpsichord because the harpsichord was ivented first
This is exactly what I am expecting from a "how it works" video! ❤️❤️
Very nice video, I can only imagine the amount of research you did, these aren't simple instruments! One thing that might interest you for the video of the pedals is that there is a new experimental fourth pedal that is called harmonic pedal, might be worth taking a look at it.
I had no idea of how complex a piano really is. You animations explain all of the workings with extreme precision. Quite simply, you are amazing as I have watched many of your animations...I really enjoy them!! Thank you!
Can you please show us stupid creatures how does a printer work? Btw great videos!
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add a printer my idea list
Carlo Attanasio *curious creatures :)
Printers psh you think they work
@Orion D. Hunter no they don't
Carlo Attanasio great idea
4:03 how cannot anyone retain himself from smiling with that music?
Such a sad song
@@guilherme6818 song?
song?

I am a 30+ registered piano technician professionally, and this video is spot on. Well done! (Where were you 30 years ago when I was just learning??)
CZcams wasn’t out yet lol
@@vepified he meant what were you doing 30 years ago.
@@vepified are you like trying to be stupid on purpose
I have never seen this much accurate, clear and crisp animation 😮. Very well done
I knew all of this from before, but I'm glad that there's finally an animated educational video out on CZcams for everyone to see! Great job, Jared! Keep up the good work!

Hey My name is also Jared
But there is no explanation as to why the hammer does not simply bounce back up after hitting the string. Neither is there an explanation as to how a rapid repetition is achieved.
This is why I love the piano, such a beautiful and graceful instrument with complex mechanisms designed to make a wide variety of soft and loud sounds.
I LOVE the sound of a piano too. I think that is what led me to the music of Elton John and Billy Joel. When I was a kid I alway felt they should do a concert together and was thrilled when they did. It was awesome!!!
Jared, these videos are really the two best I have EVER seen explaining the piano. I can’t praise your work highly enough!
wow! so much work for this video!
Oreo kanali
as a pianist with perfect pitch I thoroughly appreciate the fact that for the opening and closing animations (where the keys were shown moving), the correct notes were actually being played on the piano
Very nice video, I can only imagine the amount of research you did, these aren't simple instruments! One thing that might interest you for the video of the pedals is that there is a new experimental fourth pedal that is called harmonic pedal, might be worth taking a look at it.
Wow! you learn something new every day!
Mad respect for you because you actually put the right notes on the piano
Been playing piano for 10 years and still counting and I had no idea about all the detail within the hammer mechanisms! Thanks for clearing it up!
Jared, Your videos are video's best! Thanks!
Thanks for teaching me something New! And AWSOME VIDEO!!
Thank you! This was so informative. I just got my first acoustic piano and I’m learning how it works. I really appreciated the terminology and demonstrations.
Jared Owen. What a very fine teacher and animator you are. Thank you for your service to humanity!!
Fascinating! I also watched your Part 2 video and equally fascinating! It would be great if you could add an explanation of how the repetition lever works.
So great man...
Amazing animation work, mate! Not only it is very detailed but it's also explained very well. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Jared, this is so well done!!!
This video was so helpful, thank you mate! Keep up the good work! :D
Thanks!
4:00 just made my day.
What song is that
Wow! Fantastic animations and great explanations! I will definitely be showing this to my piano students!
These are great educational videos. I had no idea there were so many different mechanisms involved in playing single notes!
It is awesome!
Wow wow wow!!! You are amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this video!! I can show this to my students to explain how piano works! I’m a pianist but also a pilot. Can you do how the airplane works? Single engine (propeller) airplane would be fun!
Thank you so much Sangah! I'm glad you like the video. I'll look into doing an airplane, it'll be a lot of work but I that would be cool!
@@JaredOwen Awesome Jared!!!
Such a vivid, optimum and to the point presentation. Just loved it.
Thanks Jared! Awesome job!
I just discovered your channel and I'm in shock at the incredible amount of work you do for these videos, instantly subscribed
Very nicely done, Bravo !!!
just a small downside: it lacks the extremely important spring between the wippen and the repetition lever
This spring gently raises the repeater lever when the key is released and therefore the hammer rises slightly, allowing the Jack to reposition itself under the hammer roller.
this is what is called (wrongly!) the double escapement, and it allows the note to be replayed while the key is not yet fully raised
It is a wonderful, French invention of the 19th century, which the upright piano does not benefit from !!
I have put it as a link on my website of piano tuner , thanks !!
Excellent video, so clearly explained and great graphics. Thank you!
Very well done animations, and a great explanation that everyone can understand!
Beautiful presentation! Remember me when you’re famous! I have absolutely no doubt you will become successful! :D
0:34 ghost piano
no audience but clapping
no musician but piano is playing 😂😂
Ikr
Great video, great job on explaining each part and great animation!
BEST ANIMATION CHANNEL EVER and so do the explanation too, omg you are a kind person thanks for sharing the Information for curious creatures like me about how this world works
did they animate the piano correctly?
Yup
Why is the stroking mechanism so complex? Why not the key lever striking the chord and just that?
So you can play a long note by holding the key down.
Holding down the key moves the damper from the string, but you'll also notice the hammer strikes then moves away from the string no matter how long the key is held. Otherwise the hammer would remain touching the string and this would damp the note.
Short, clear and instructive. Thank you
Your video are so good quality that you've earnt a new subscriber!
Great job man!
“Disassembling a Grand Piano in Front of the Audience”
Actually, the piano is a persuasion instrument. I believe you called it a “stringed instrument”, so maybe you were simply meaning that…it’s stringed (wired). I’m sure you must know, the research you do into the models you make is quite impressive. Your animations are absolutely the most incredible. It’s now why I study Blender. Thanks!
Don't you mean percussion, not persuasion? Or am I mistaken?
Jared, I love your animations! How could anyone give you a thumbs down? Anyway, good job!
Great animation , I've always been a fan of yours. You also explain in a great way , so keep up the good work
I know a little bit about Grand Piano when watching Tom and Jerry :v
A piano is a precussion instrument. Either that or my life’s a lie
What is a precussion instrument?
This animation was amazing, man. I'm so happy to being able to access this quality of content because I learned how to speak your language.
This is a great suggestion
Thanks for this video! I only knew the basis of how the piano works but you explained it so quickly and goodly.
very clear, and easy to follow, just what I needed, thanks.
Brilliant video Jared. Thank You.
I've been playing the piano for eight years. We used to have a classical piano in our house. It was about 100 years old. My piano was so broken and it sounded terrible. We put that piano in my mother's friend's house. I have a yamaha digital piano right now. But the grand piano is one of the things I want most in my life. I've played at a concert a couple of times before, actually... And it was a beautiful feeling...
Precisely what I was looking for. Thanks!
Magnificent animation! 👏🏻👏🏻Thank you!
Some really quality content here, Jared!
This is very well made. It's missing few things, but you talked very well about the most important. Nice job !
What a great piece of animation, Jared! Very instructive! I've often said that if I could do it all over again, I'd learn to play the piano. It's the most versatile instrument on the planet. There is no style of music that you can NOT play on it. You can't say that about any other instrument.
Very educating video,
Underrated channel who deserved more attention
This was excellent. Thank you!
Great animation and break down, always wanted to know all these little pieces and especially how they function if needed to be replaced.
Thank you for making these videos, they really inspired me. :-D
Brilliant explanation. So cool. Thank you very much for sharing it.
Thank you!
Excellent video. Thx for uploading
Wow...Great job. I can not imagine how hard you worked for making it.
This amazingly educative. Thanks a lot, you gave me what I really wanted!
This is amazing, thanks for sharing with us!
What are marvel of engineering the grand piano is. Genius design.
My daughter and I were talking about how the pianos work, and came across this. This was perfect! Thanks for sharing
Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by
Thank You So Much. Amazing Tutorial
We’ll done! Great for showing kids (and adults who never knew) how a piano works. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing!
WOW! Everything was so much more intricate and interesting when it was completely mechanical!
It is
This is a really useful video, thanks! Will be showing my students.
Outstanding work, thanks
THIS SO COOL, JARED! Thanks for educating me.
Fantastic video, thank you so much!
Great modeling. Very well done
Brilliant work. I know how hard it is to animate these, and you made it seem effortless.
We appreciate your hardwork
Thank you very much for your fantastic video ! What a work ! I am amazed ....
Minor correction: some current models of European-designed grand piano have more than 88 keys (Bösendorfer Imperial - 97 keys, Rubenstein R-371 - 97 keys, Stuart & Sons Beleura - 108 keys).
Very cool! This topic is perfectly explained
Very clear and interesting explanation
Animation is so cool and thank you for the lesson 😊
The explanations are great and the animation even greater! Well done.
Thanks Michael
This is an amazing video. Honestly
Thank you so much Sir for this video...
I never knew till you explained. Excellent man!!!
Glad I could help!
Pianos really are a wonderful masterpiece in music.
