- čas přidán 6. 08. 2022
- I take this 1980's electric piano and give it a complete new look by removing all the plastic and vinyl and replacing it with wood. Today's video is sponsored by Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. All the products and tools I used are linked below.

Huge thanks to David for doing this piano. It is incredible and I couldn't be happier, and thanks to everyone for your kind words here in the comment section!
I wish that there was a 'before' of the piano sound. I wonder if the swap from the plastic to the wood gave it more resonance and/or warmed the tone. Can you offer any comparisons of the sound from touring beforehand with the piano to how it sounds now after Dave worked on it?
Also, I'm pretty sure this is you, but I didn't see a link to any music and thought I'd leave this here for anyone else interested:

Liked your song! I can see how you ended up on the road with this thing for so long. Glad you had a friend who could make this 8nto a piece that doesn’t look out of place in any room of the house.
That is such a cool beautiful instrument you are one lucky person.
Just subscribed to you, beautiful song. Found myself a brilliant new musician to listen to, thank you.
Beautiful music Mr. Clay. Really enjoyed hearing you on this lovely refinished piano by David.
Turned out unbelievable. I couldn't imagine taking on such a challenge. Love some of the quick cut scenes. Every 1.5 seconds, cut scene, move to new angle. Gave the video a lot of visual interest.
This is your best work. Perfectly encapsulated the Picciuto style. Having listened to the podcast, it sounds like you’d like to do more of this type of thing in the future. Excited to see where you go from here!
Dude walks in an loves his piano, then suddenly sings like an Angel. What a performer! (Nice piano makeover too :))
Clay is absolutely amazing!
Thanks to Forrest Clay for letting me experiment on his piano. Check him out here: linktr.ee/ForrestClay
David, please end every video with a song! This could be my favorite video of yours. Great work. Great video.
Music + woodwork = best of CZcams
Fabulous work David. No wonder your friend was delighted. Thank you for sharing the transformation… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hands down one of the best I’ve seen you do.
the woodworking is super awesome. The piano and the singing are amazing. Nice voice
This is unbelievable David! You way undersold it in the podcast. Amazing. And what a voice at the end!
Thank you! Maybe I need to sell myself more on the podcast! Appreciate it Peter!
Holy smokes. Great build.. nothing better when two art forms come together like this. Very beautiful to hear your buddy play. Sounds amazing xxx
Forrest has such an amazing voice, that was a real treat.
This project came out great. Clay also has a heck of a voice. Definitely gonna be checking him out
David, that was beautiful! Clay has an awesome voice!
You making it almost look easy just show what a professional you became!
And i like that you are no longer apologizing for the tools you use, that was always catering to the minority of people who complain about stuff like that.
♥️🙏
I really, really like this channel, even not heaving the tools or doing woodworking.
What a nice project.
Absolutely inspiring.
Hey. I just want to say that this kind of build videos is what CZcams IMO lacks, and your take on them is great. I'm unable to comprehend why this videos and more like it have 10 times less views than your other non build-related videos. Guess the dreaded algorithm is at work again, duh. Keep up the good work, we enjoy it a lot!
Greetings from across the pond :)
Thank you! This was one of my favorite builds.
First time I've seen a travelling piano like this and that alone is pretty cool. But your personal touch on the new body is absolutely stunning. Great improvement to the look without impacting the function. Clay can play and sing too. If you're planning on doing more projects like this, I can't wait to see them! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely stunning. Some projects just have more meaning to them and this is clearly one of those.
These are my favourite builds, love seeing how you "re skin" every day objects to make them better
Wow! I didn't know Yamaha made hybrid pianos back in the 1980s. Everything in this video is impressive: your fancy equipment, your craftsmanship, and the singer.
David - your immaculate attention to detail kills me! And congratulations Forrest Clay on now owning such a beauty!
Wow David! I've been looking forward to this one since you mentioned it on the podcast and it did not disappoint!! Now it looks as beautiful as it sounds!
David, this is your best video ever! You did an amazing job on that restoration. When the owner looked over and smiled and you displayed a giant “whew!” I was smiling too and was super happy for you! And that song at the end was a very nice touch. Great job man!
fantastic job David, Ive been listening to what youve been doing on the podcast for some time but couldn't imagine a better result.
Great that Forest loves it too.
Your best video! What a pleasant surprise. You restored something (make) that another maker used to praise our maker.
There’s a whole lot of talent and skills on display in this video!!! Wow!!!
Well done Dave 👌🏻
Wow what a great project! It came out beautiful. It's fun to see a project go from a conversation on the podcast to the workshop. Awesome
Dude sounds like Ben Folds for sure, super talented!!
Wow, wasn’t expecting such a nice calming (and great!) performance at the end after seeing clips of the band on stage 😀👏. And beautiful restoration job.
That turned out really nice! Congrats on another amazing project and a happy friend.
Wow man that looked like a ton of work! You knocked it out of the park!
Looks and sounds amazing. Love the performance at the end too. A lot of tasty chords and great lyrics. I may do something like this for my Roland electric. Awesome!
Cool project and well done. Thanks for the music at the end.
Came out amazing! Love the acrylic touch. Clay is super talented and so glad he loved it.
Yup. You/they were right. You did undersell it on the podcast. Really enjoyed this build! Beautiful! 👍 Good work David!
I have been SO excited for this one and man did it not disappoint!!! Beyond a piece of art, just...no words!
Amazing build David and love that you captured the reveal and had him perform beautiful piano and amazing song I'll be checking them out for sure.
David - you did a fantastic job on this. Some great choices on details. Great ideas and use of certain tools/techniques to accomplish them. The transformation is night and day.
Great job David…. Awesome edit and the song was spot on too!
I’ve been hearing about this build on the podcast and had expectations. EVERYTHING about this video blew my expectations out of the water, along with the amazing song at the end.
This is an incredible example of talent squared. Truly one of your best David!!
Thank you!
You did an amazing job on this one, David! Absolutley gorgeous. All of the fine details you put in here are fantastic. The open acrylic really allows the piano to shine along with the gorgeous walnut.
I LOVE that you included Forrest playing at the end too. Beautiful music, sir.
Amazing work on the piano, and wonderful voice and performance from Clay, a big artist! RESPECT
Fantastic job! And two talented artists! I will have to listen more to Forrest Clay!
Incredible! Absolutely love this! And what an ending, bravo
Wow!!! That looks awesome. Took a plain looking machine and turned it into a beautiful piece of art. Nice work as always 👍
Simply beautiful work. The Yamaha inlays remember where it came from without detracting from the new wood exterior.
I love the clear window
Wow, this is a home run David. Cheers on a great vision and execution. Perfect length video too
Has potential to be your coolest project yet! And Clay is a super talented musician! Nice work guys!
Absolutely AMAZING! David, you nailed it on this one.
Absolutely gorgeous. The acrylic panel, the pop of brass from the screws, just perfect!
Amazing work! Love the clear acrylic.
Gorgeous!!! Super impressive. I think you just found your new side hustle.
Cool project and very well done 👍
Beautiful song..
Wow, such a great film. Awesome build. Love all the details. Forrest has a great voice. Mahalo for sharing! : )
This is one of the cooliest things I have seen you make. Awesome.
Wow! Both piano and solo are amazing. Nicely done; kudos to both of you!
Stunningly beautiful... what an amazing look and awesome sound! Bonus - Speed Racer, Racer X, and the Mach5 for the win! Just listened to the entire song - it is very moving and touched my inner self most tenderly!
Thank you!
Beautiful piano and amazing song!
Wow man. You did some gorgeous work with that piano. I'm a huge fan of brass against walnut. Nailed it.
Fantastic work on that piano David! Your friend Clay is a very talented musician. Keep up the great work. 👍👍🎹🎹🎤🎤👍👍
This project was next level--you really delivered. Very cool. Thanks.
David, besides the video about your grandfather, this is your only project video that has made me emotional, seeing how happy Forrest was with the final product was awesome! As others have said, I think this is your best project to date and the amount of skill sets needed to pull this off was impressive. I've been looking forward to this one since I first heard you talking about it on the podcast. Hope this video performs well so we can see more like these! I want more tiny desk Picciuto living room concerts!! 😁
Is it only me who gets a Freddie Mercury vibe from Forrest voice? Great video and great performance.
My favorite project to date! To have such a great ending is just the cherry on top. Amazing work Dave and Clay!
This video deserves more views ! Maybe make the thumbnail one piano, with the left half being the old version and the right half being the transformation? Hard to tell it’s a piano project from the current one. Either way, awesome work and video
This looks incredible. What a project!
Wow, that is fucking gorgeous!
Sorry for the f-bomb, but that's my honest reaction at the reveal. So awesome. Love watching you do your thing, Dave!
Awesome project. Love the edit and the performance at the end too, definitely my favorite video from you to date. Keep up the awesome work!
Looks like his album is about spiritual deconstruction. I can relate whole heartedly! Awesome work on the piano and will be listening to Forrest!
Yes, it is! Thank you!
I have been excited for this one to come out. Looks so good. The back and the clear view on front set it off.
This is brilliant. I love the acrylic. Well done 😁
Just beautiful! I love that one artist gave another the freedom to create in their own style.
Very awesome. Thanks for sharing your life and work with us.
Awesome job, David. I learned veneering years ago and love using species of wood that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable.
I rarely make a comment on YT, but this was great. Very nice job and pleasing to see.
Amazing, Dave! Fantastic work!!! 😃
That's what I call a work of art!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beautiful build and a beautiful song
Really amazing work Dave. Worth the wait!
You’re a master. That build is gorgeous and so creative! I love stuff like this. You did an amazing job to say the least!
Love it! As a piano person myself, that’s inspiration I needed to do something when the one I have at home. Beautiful music too. Well done!
Simply beautiful David.
Interesting change of format David. Very cool project.
I almost clicked out of this one….glad I stuck around for the performance.
Piano looks great. Great video!
This is a stunning restoration! This piano is now a functional work of art. The brass hardware looks great and the walnut just works (as always). I love it!
You've been teasing this project for awhile and I've really been looking forward to it. I think it turned out nice and your friend is very talented!
Amazing work Dave!
Very cool. Enjoyed the transformation.
This is next level work. I think you've raised your bar and I'm super proud of you. I was really looking forward to this video after hearing about it on the podcast. It didn't disappoint! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! It was time to raise the bar!
Proper job Dave! Looks fantastic. 👍
The work you did building around that cast iron plate was as amazing as Clay's performance.
Such a cool restoration project.
Absolutely gorgeous! Huge upgrade over the plastic body. Glad to see it finally after hearing about it for awhile. Ending was great too. Going to have to listen to more of him!
Absolutely amazing! The details add up beautifully!
Beautiful. I enjoy looking at your projects.
I can't believe how good that came out! - not that I ever doubted you - but that's a serious undertaking!
Defo city and colour vibes… love the project, looks amazing. Now to look up Forrest..
