Tell them i said hi
Matthias Krantz can you build a pipe organ but using saxophone instead of the organ pipe?
Great!
F, you had me subscribe!
Sounds like a hammered dulcimer
Do you think the tech goes home to his wife and is like “you know that asshole with the weird pianos? you’ll never guess what shit he pulled this time”
Beans
Maybe he has husband, but yeaah hdhs, do you remember about that person who likes to destroy pianos?? Yeah... Guess what he's done this time (?
i laughed so hard reading this comment. thanks
Hahaha
@@Mattiaskrantz if it's pawsinble
Please try to not use branded pianos next time 🎹🎶
I like how the technician is slowly just adjusting to this awfulness
It’s been kind of funny to watch him become more and more open to this kind of stuff.
His first time around he was like “you’ve destroyed the sanctity of this instrument”
Now he’s like. “This one’s actually kind of cool and useful.”
@@mattsnyder4754 ....and "there are questions a man doesn't put to himself" XD
Hahaha yeah I mean it’s a piano with hammers lmao
yup
It's called Stockholm syndrome
"You're full of surprises" is polite version of "you're crazy"
or ''what the f*ck is your problem?!"
that's an amazing idea LMAOOOOOOO
Exactly what I was thinking! The eyes he gives him definitely say "crazy" with the air of distrust like he's expecting something bad for a second like the question was a trap:)
he definitely was going to say crazy xD then he switched last minute to the more polite version
His look is like “you’re absolutely mad”
Tech guy last time: almost cried
Tech guy this time: smiled
Now THAT'S character development
I was sad last time. Such a bad coincidence :(
@@Professor_Sex Yeah, I felt bad for him.
you call that a smile ? it was a valiant attempt to hold back the tears of pain and disgust
He only does weird things to his pianos, because he enjoys hanging out with the piano technician.
Plot twist😂
@@Mattiaskrantz I understand it, he's cultured and cute 😉
This would be cute af
That's an old person social technique. *sabotages washing machine* "Hello, my washing machine is on the fritz again. Can you send over the nice young man that serviced me last time?"
I am glad I am not the only one who thought that.
the poor tech guy always looks like he is stuck between the sheer horror of what you've done to the piano and the fascination of tuning a Frankenstein-piano
and the reality of collecting the money for work like most people
That’s what Mattias makes: Frankensteinways.
I feel like he should be referred to as "The Piano Tech" rather than "A Piano Tech" given that he's been so cooperative at this point
👏🏻
"The Ultimate Technician"
Mattias: Calls the piano tech
*The piano tech: Ah shit, here we go again*
_Ah yes, the piano is made out of piano_
Love how the Tech has become a recurring character
Yeah I’m happy he keeps showing up😂see you guys on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
He gets paid, and he gets his name promoted, I guess.
I really like this
I think he should choose a different tech each time.
@@Mattiaskrantz he's becoming the main character of this channel
The piano techincan is the best sidecharacter ever 😆
Hahaha I agree
he’s that random person in a movie that pops up that you suddenly don’t want to die
He earned the uppercase billing, now - The Piano Technician! :)
I think they like each other 😏
@@AlvaroALorite Piano Tech is married but the friendship is certainly there lol
i really love this piano tech guy, he is skilled, funny, and doesn't seem to be bothered by the chaos you spread.
He's lovely, but it also probably doesn't hurt to have a recurring paycheck
next time you can call him for a dinner. I feel the chemistry.
I feel it too!! Hope they end up dating.🥰
He keeps fidgeting with his ring
is he not married? He has a ring…👀
@@simviki or being best friends 🥰
can't believe I'll encounter BL fans here. ^_^
Plot twist: the next time Mattias calls the tech it will be for a regular piano that just needs tuning.
Honestly, that would be a funny one just, call him to tune one before it's changed at all. XD
Better plot twist: the piano tuner is Mattias from the future, sent back in time through a piano he made that opens a portal through spacetime. If the piano tuner does not keep Mattias's pianos out of trouble (just enough out of tune for no one else to notice), the next piano he makes will uncouple the electrical from the magnetic field, and space will unwind itself.
I like mine better. :)
That’s genius lmao
And after that cut the strings in front of him! *Evil laughter*
@@FlorianMickler that might be a smidgen too evil. But telling him how you plan on 'ruining' this one? Priceless.
"you nailed it"
I almost spit the food I am eating
It took me 10 minutes to realize it is fun actually... ^^
Hahaha
The world needs the VST of this piano
Laughed my ass out
For real, it sound like koto
Have you heard of FL Keys?
What is VST?
I'd buy
You turned a piano into a dulcimer with a keyboard that sounds like a harpsichord without being plucked. Apart from the action, it is brilliant. John Cage would be proud.
It sound almost identical to a clavichord, but bigger and with more bass. Very beautiful.
The pain on his face when he enters your house is priceless
Hahaha yeah. see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
@@Mattiaskrantz already there :)
3:06 p a i n
When the tech said “you’r full of surprises”, it felt like a scene from romantic drama 🎭 🤣🤣
The Whole setting sounds like a romantic drama
"and what did you do to the pooor piano this time, you naughty, naughty boy"
your comments edited yet it still says you'r
@@stonecat676 daaamn, make me unsee this hahdhd
@@jack5exe312 mmm 😋 just hoped that “ ‘r “ was enough, better than my previous mistake of writing “ your “and pissing off internet Grammar Monitors 🤣. Good Day
This man spent 300 hours trying to making his tech laugh for making him cry last time
I think the piano tech was onto something when he suggested that you put something on the tip of the hammer. You should make a quick change system that allows you to put all kinds of material on there. Rubber, iron, brass, hardwood, softwood whatever...
Yes!
That's how things evolve. Great insight!
OMG that's such a smart idea
since he knows you by now, you should have just a regular piano nothing changed, and ask him to "figure out" what's wrong with it
That's actually an amazing idea
Put beans in the piano
@@clearcontentment3695 🅱️iano
I'm glad he liked this one, he seems like a really nice guy. Then of course when he said it sounded like a harpsichord I was hoping he'd try to play Bach, and he didn't disappoint.
He is! Yeah Harpsichord, the pro pianists thought cembalo I guess that’s something similar? see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
@@Mattiaskrantz Cembalo is just another term used for a Harpsicord in several European countries. Loved the video btw and greetings from Australia :)
Regards, Josh
In japan, the technictians that tune and repair those big drums write their names and dates inside it and you can see all repairs datings centuries ago and it is very cool
“Would you recommend that my viewers become piano-technicians?”
“Yes. I love my job... but... urm... “ (Thinks: “I keep being called out by crazy lunatics who turn their pianos into Frankenstein’s monsters”).
The face says it all: "what the hell are you up to again, Mattias". :D
Hahaha
You can hear his heart sink when he says "You have a grand too".
yep like now he is after the bigger ones :'( .. hehe :D
Hahaha
I almost forgot I owned one before he got here. I realised he hadn’t seen it either
"because you're... full of surprises..." he's saying you're an awful person in a tactful way.
I read the title as "I put HAMSTERS in a piano" and was so worried for these hamsters the moment he started playing it.
The piano techinician is right, it does sound like a harpsichord. Playing Bach in that hammerklavier must be amazing
He tried with his goldberg variation
@@diesirae9223 Yeah, I heard! Reminded me of that Glenn Gould clip where he is practicing in his room with his dog on the side.
It was!!
Pianoforte, not a harpsichord.
Nice name
i love how Piano Tech was lowkey vibing to the modified piano
Yeah hahaha
Piano technician plays a piano with hammers.
Mattias: You nailed it!
I hope you and piano technician become friends 🥺 it seems like he’s acclimating to the chaos
Hey, that's nice that you refused to sponsor a product you disliked instead of pretend you liked it! That's respectable!
If every CZcamsr did this, Raid Shadow Legends would die.
This guy made a piano technician cry by experimenting on a pianos and tried to cheer him up by experimenting on a piano.
That's the kind of alternative moral compass this world needs!
I grow fonder and fonder of this piano technician every time he’s featured in the videos if I lived in that area and played piano I would hire him just due to the fact he’s featured in your videos and seems lovely
Bass bättre än piano
that’s actually why I hire him! It’s much more effective than trying to make friends
:O
We've figured out the secret, guys!
This is why he keeps torturing the pain-os!
(Geddit)
@@Mattiaskrantz I guess putting his contact information for hiring would be a nice thing to do, though I suspect people would troll calling him though ...
@@guitarplayer1994 website in description.
"That's hard to say because you're..... Full of surprises."
Let's face it, we all know he wanted to say "you're F!@#$ng crazy!"
I feel like these two are slowly becoming best friends
I love how the tech came in like "Oh god, all of these perfectly good pianos are going to get ruined by this guy." But, I do like how he seemed impressed with this one lol
i think he liked the creativity of replacing piano hammers with actual hammers. But he was def still critical about the piano - esp after playing some of the dodgy keys he grimaces and says "it's something" - which sounds like he was being polite (while dying slightly inside xD)
@@crystalDM96 that's probably because the weight of the hammers limits its use as an instrument. Hence his VST suggestion ...
I really don't know if the technician loves or hates when you call him for your projects
It's a love-hate relationship❤️
they love the money.
He gets a little money but has to die inside a little every time.
Easy $$$
just collects the money and goes home and cries
"don't pick this man's brain" amazing and hilarious at the same time.
Piano Tech : *Working on first three pianos and cringing out of his skin*
Piano Tech :Working on piano with HAMMERS* "AYYE. Not too bad."
Can we just appreciate that the piano technician is still coming to your place? It made me genuinely happy to see him smile while trying to play the piano. You really did a fantastic job and I can't wait for the video to see the professional pianist try to play it 😂
He gets free advertisement for himself and can prove that he can also tune modified pianos so of course it is good idea to come visit to these videos as often as possible. :)
@@Pehmokettu Yeah you're right! It's really some good advertisement for him :)
I mean I just think he kind of enjoy doing something else for a few hours! He said he didn’t get any customers from me yet so I’m pretty sure he is not her for self advertisment. I do tip him nicely though but that’s just to heal his soul!
@@Mattiaskrantz You're a good man Matt. :)
@@Mattiaskrantz I guess it's not everyday that one buys a piano, lives in your area, is in need of a technician and then discovers him through your videos 😉
"and we have a grand too" the feeling of despair in his voice before Mattias customizes it was real xD
Hahaha yeah😅😅
Hi, what does this mean? Didn't understand it in context either. Is it the kind of piano? Thx
@@kathybumblebee Yes, it is talking about a Grand Piano, like the ones often shown in media!
I love how during the phone call the technician tries to maintain professionalism while also going "You and I both know you're up to something."
Piano Tech knows his craft so well, I hope these videos give him a boost in his career
He probably answers the phone like "what the hell do you want"
The last time the technician came over, Mattias made him cry. This time he made the technician smile.
Mattias, you're pulling on the technicians heart strings!
And piano strings, lol
@@h4ppyturt1e Exactly! You get it! 😁
Piano with heart strings!
@@AmaroqStarwind Don't give him ideas ....
@@AmaroqStarwind Oooh? What kind of hammers? Let us not forget about the hammers! 😯
I just love the wholesome character of the tech. I mean he was really disappointed the last time.
But I think he is a nice guy, honest and upright.
03:08 Dude is like: "I'm pretty sure the keys are explosive this time" :J
Hey, try replacing the hammers with ereasers (sudd in swedish, i can’t spell it)
erasers?
@Wales05 How about silicone ?
Smart
Nice ideas!! see you guys on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
@Wales05 some erasers are much tougher than others. It could work
"What have you done this time?"
"I haven't touched the strings at all. Yes. The strings."
*hide all of the leftover hammer in cupboard
Hahahah I’m an honest guy!
@@Mattiaskrantz stick to telling the truth, its what your best at
In Germany we’d say „this video is the Hammer“ 😅
Das ist nicht nur der Hammer das ist der ganze Werkzeugskasten
Just start titling as “the piano technician” versus “a piano technician”
I guess he really "hammered" it this time
Yup lmao
He hit the nail on the head
@@caseydubois3645 ha nice
Hahahaha-mmer
that technician is somewhat going to be a part of the channel
Edit: thanks for all the likes
He already is!
@@Mattiaskrantz he is cool
hi shrestha sayeb
He's so cute. So is Matt. They are SO cute together.
if only i can like the video multiple times.
@@theatogactually you can if you have multiple YT account
By the time you get to the end of this piano rabbit hole, you're gonna be a certified piano tech yourself. The amount of time you're putting in is nuts.
Pianos were invented from a maker intending to make a Harpsicord more reactive. It would be interesting if you could engineer a guitar pick hammer that gives the sound of a Harpsicord maybe? Its definitely an engineering solution because you have to slide the pick so it doesn't hit the strings on the return....like a Harpsicord. I love the videos!
I'm no engineer, but if you want to pluck a string, you might want a ratcheting wheel of some kind.
@@MrVeps1 You need an Inline rotary girder. Inside engineering joke ;)
thumb tacks on the hammers works
He went from feeling dread to sheer concern to utter enjoyment. My hat's off to him.
Yeah hahah it was an emotional rollercoaster
Mattias: *Calls piano tech*
Piano Tech: "Ah sh*t, here we go again"
Hahaha
8:32 That was legitimately the most drastic genre switch I've heard in my life. A cat accidentally jumping onto a piano turns to a soothing melodic opening song for a Legend of Zelda videogame.
It sounds like a mix between harpischord, glockenspiel and old saloon piano, I really like it!
I love how happy the piano technician is, oddly wholesome
Yeah same hahah 😂see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
I love this, the way they talk together makes me smile
Hahah love you
One thing I'd love to point out is that the technician when playing the piano is indeed playing it like a harpsichord (play to the keys, harpsichord has hand close to keys whereas piano is away from the keys). Just reinforcing the technicians earlier statement of how it felt like a harpsichord
I love that he startes playing Bach because it sounds like a harpsichord
The piano actually sounds amazing. And I've said it before but I think that even though you're doing a lot of these things "as a joke" your work is really impressive.
It’s pretty cool how this meme actually turned out to be quite a nice sounding thing. Thank you!!
Watching other swedes talking neelessly in english to eachother is SO awkward.
But the video is fantastic so I'll accept it.
Hahaha I would love to see your face on my next video with the pianists
@@Mattiaskrantz No you wouldn't.
Well it's not needlessly... Obviously Mattias asked him to speak English for the sake of the video...
I'm always just impressed how well Swedish people can just switch to English, I don't think I've ever met one who doesn't speak superb English. Makes me want to learn another language.
@@Zerbey Most of us are close to 50-50 between the languages. To be honest it's mostly age that is a factor here as english has nestled into our language education. The interesting thing is I use english as often as swedish with most of my swedish friends.
You should definitely learn a second language!
I love Piano Tech Guy! I look forward to seeing more of him and the growth of your friendship.
The final look in his eyes at the end of the video was like "Don't you think that he was a good choice?, Isn't he the cutest piano tuner ever....?" LOL, I wanna ship you guys. I'm really in love with that piano tech ;D
I mostly watch these now for the growing bromance between Mattias and the piano tech.
Hahha
That’s the real reason I spent 300h on putting on the hammers😆
@@Mattiaskrantz Go get some
putting guitar pickups in an accoustic piano to make it an electric piano.
🤝🤝 see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
That would actually be interisting
These things actually exist for acoustic pianos and grands. Sounds like shit tho.
Yamaha CP-70/CP-80
i love he calls him, and the guy's just like "What did you do to it this time?"
There’s just this beautiful chemistry between you and your piano technician that I love and admire so much!😍
Mattias: wants to put fingers instead of hammers
Me: ahh, I see you want to S L A P P
Y E SSSSSS
@@Mattiaskrantz do that modification on the bass strings piano. Make Davy proud lol
Baked beans
Slappa da bass man
*davie504 has entered the chat*
I love how the technician fell in love with it.
Yeah hahaha
I am highly attracted to the piano tech.
Of course he is professional with his fingers and ears.
Tech, after being told to open piano: "I'm about to hate my life, aren't I?"
I’m about to use the link! I’ve always wanted to use epidemic sounds but I’m kinda poor so I’m excited to use it for 30 days :D
I LOVE YOU
@@Mattiaskrantz thanks so much for the pin! I love the vids, keep up the great work
@Mattias Krantz challenge davie to play baton rouge guitars
So um can order your piano how much?
70 000 USD
This piano tech guy is such a chad. Props to him for showing up every time!
seeing your channel grow makes me really happy, you work so exremely hard to do these crazy things! XD You deserve it man!
go meta: replace the hammers with tuning forks
wait a minute.... did *I* trigger that?
Damnn ..someone get this guy a piano mueseum❤️
Lmaooo
I really like the piano technician! And you can see that he takes his work seriously - even wears hearing protection. Very good!
I had to watch this video after seeing the one with the professionals and I'm so happy my harpsichord comparison wasn't misguided. This was so fun! I do feel bad that you cut off a few of his answers. Now I have to go find the guitar string and fishing wire videos! Also, thank you for having the professional integrity to not advertise a video you didn't believe in.
Those low tones got me with headphones. I'd love to hear something dark/ominous performed on the hammer piano.
6:23 I agree with technician guy, it would be really cool to have access to this hammer piano as a sforzando library or another virtual sampled instruments. Maybe you could get Versilian Studios to sample it or turn it into a library :D
I second this, plus it could be additional revenue when sponsors don't work out.
PianoBook!
I signed a contract with Impact soundworks so I will record the VST for them soon.☺️😄
Whoa, good luck with that! Excited to see the library, and I hope it goes well for you!
@@Mattiaskrantz I think you could also get an engineer to come up with a few methods to decrease the strain on the keys and maybe increase the speed. This one sounds genuinely good especially after the tuning. Plus you could make another video with the classical pianist playing it as a before and after comparison.
"There's some questions you just don't ask yourself"
Words of Wisdom
Hahahh he should frame and sell that qoute. see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
The tech was very gracious. I wonder what he really thought at the time. His first reaction seemed like "Oh dear, another prank!" but his curiosity got the best of him.
It’s amazing how you put so much effort in your videos
Piano but the hammers are replaced with tuning forks?
Oh god i wonder what that would be like...
@@ashleybroening6933 expensive... Very very expensive...... And so hard to tune.........
SO curious about this but its gonna be SO DAMN expensive
Yeah I got this idea further down here and I find it really interesting. But i have a bunch of videos to get out first!:D
Next project : reverse the string arrangements. Bass to the right, treble to the left. 🤣🤣🤣
Thar would be cool.
Though I wonder how he'd reverse the harp...
I guess he could do it in a vertical piano though...
Could be possible
@@lorddragonskin3603 I'm sure he'll be able to do it....
Yeah I have that on my idea list actually😂😂
see you on Discord? discord.gg/mattiaskrantz
@@Mattiaskrantz Noice!!! 😂
I honestly love the sound of this. Even more then a normal piano
I don't know what a good piano is supposed to sound like but I loved the sound of those hammers
The tech is pleasantly surprised this time around, it’s endearing
I've said this before: these pianos should be turned into VSTs.
This piano will👍 but after I record it they need 3 months until the UI and audio editing is done😄
@@Mattiaskrantz and where we can find?
@@Mattiaskrantz that's awesome!
The grand has a really warm sound to it. I'm looking forward to seeing your tech tune it and actually hearing it
I can't believe it's been 2 years. I keep coming back to these vids. I hope the residuals are good for you.
Me: "How did he guess it had bass strings?"
Video 1 minute later: Shot of the giant Davie504 on the wall, holding a bass with a bass shirt right next to it
finally you uploaded i was waiting for 69 years
Same hahaha
@@Mattiaskrantz 👍🏻
I watched this already knowing what you did but absolutely LOVED the piano tech's going for it!
