I’m debating whether I should turn this into a full video and do the entire piano. Theory people, what chords makes sense tuning it to? Keep in mind the bass section only has two strings so it can only be done on 2/3 of piano
It wouldn't make sense to tune the entire piano like that because otherwise you wouldn't be able to play a melody, but the middle-low section you could 😂 (even the two-strung notes could be tuned as intervals of fifths for example but you should check how it sounds of course)
You could just stick with the chords in the C major scale, and use your black keys to make the C# major scale utilizing all of the keys. And giving you A and A# minor. Also you should tune your bass section to fifths! Edit: now that I think about it fifths instead of just octaves for the bass section would make split chords terrible, but it would be fine to just never play them 😂 *OH also if you want to go really bananas with it you could instead tune all of your black keys to your 7th chords of c major instead! 😀
I really want to see people start tuning some pianos like this and start composing for it. It basically turns a standard piano into a whole new instrument!

1. Definitely do a full piano 2. Consult with a jazz musician or jazz CZcamsr on what notes to tune the strings to - I'm sure they would have great ideas!
@@jordankerr1 Every string has a different 'thickness' for every particular note, so tuning a C string higher to a G can easily break it; even today in our modern times physics stay the same Mr. Kerr.
@@fedegwagwaActually, if several strings are tuned to the same note it leads to sound wave interference, which makes the piano sound much, very much louder. And yes, they usually have different thickness, so they’re not supposed to be tuned to higher note than it should be.
@@jordankerr1 I am confused what you mean? Slaves? How is that related? Different world, huh???

I don't know why you call me Mr. Timpson, is it meant demeaningly? (Actually is it Dr. Timpson since I have a doctorate in music, but I am perfectly happy if you just call me Mike.)
@@cloudanceThe octave isn't necessary to make a power chord, just the root and the fifth, it's just that it's easy to play the octave on a guitar with standard tuning because it's the same fret as the fifth one string down, it provides a "fuller" sound, and traditionally a "chord" requires at least 3 notes.
You can tune two octaves with triads as you see them on the C scale: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. This way all the poly chords will still be in C, working as extensions of the lowest chord. Also tritones are cool. For two string notes - fifths, sixths The result can be: single note octave, interval octave, C scale triad octave (you can do inversions! Like, a C6/4 on the C3 will be G2, C3, E3), triton octave, another C scale triad octave (not inverted) Now that's jazz!
As a piano player, those tiktok clips just aren't telling you the other nuances you need. If you need soft notes, the left pedal puts a dampener on the strings to make them softer with less effort, and the right pedal withdraws that mute on each hammer allowing the string to continue vibrating after you've let off the note. They also don't talk about hand and body posture.
@@caffinatedredpanda9964 If someone want to self taught themselves piano but doesn't know how to find learning resources then that will likely happen eh
String snap alert! Tuning a pitch 7 half steps above (C to G) may likely snap strings or overstretch them irretreivably. Restringing the piano to support these higher tentions will ensure you don’t snap or hurt the strings you are bringing up
Maybe for the lower notes have octaves and fifths so it does not sound muddy. But on the upper end of the left I would put major and minors. You probably want the key that's stuck with the left pedal to be the actual note not that that matters on an upright as it just puts the hammers closer. Right hand I don't know I'm tempted to say keep one note
There is an instrument where you play a chord with 1 button (yes, button, not a key) it's called accordion. I am an accordion player, and it's left hand, the basses. Accordion is actually very underrated
I remember watching a video on the buttons of an accordion, it suddenly became less scary, more like "WOW I WANT THAT TOO ON MY PIANO." Basically the circle of fifths as a keyboard though I might be misreading it
@@cloroxbleach9222 Well, there are accordions which have 32 basses, they are obviously smaller (buttons). And there are accordions which have 120. So bigger accordions sound better. Sometimes when you press a button, other button is pressed automatically (if it's the same note,) It's alsos made to navigate easier, there are many buttons that are the same notes. And to not make the notes that are far away to go wasted, they will be pressed automatically too which will make the sound stronger. I tried to share some facts about accordion..
you can also do the tiktok tutorial thing where the melody plays different notes at different times when pressing the same key by muting some of the strings on your chord keys
You are my favorite psychopath musical engineer genius. No sane person would ever do anything you do, but I absolutely love all of it! Fantastic work as always :D
Now THAT'S what I call a project! I hope you do decide to make a full video of it, I really want to know how the technician/pro players react! (I'm an engineer)
dude this is actually really cool, cuz if you have a piano where the left pedal shifts the hammers over to only play 1 string, you could essentially have auto chords when you lift up the pedal to play all 3 strings (normally that pedal is used to make the piano quieter). Some pianos have different left pedals though, with some just using a dampening cloth and some physically shifting over the keys and hammers (I'm talking about the second one though for this idea).
You should look into the way accordians left hand buttons are tuned, where you have 2 bass note rows and then triads to modify each chord into major, minor, diminished 7ths and dominant 7ths
Anything less than about 5 cents (around 1hz) is imperceptible to the human ear and is perceived as more of a chorus effect, which could be really cool to hear.
I like the idea of a fifth and octave. If you tune it to a major or minor chord, depending on how complicated the music is you're probably stuck with a few simple keys.
I'd do each octave in the same octave, but with a different chord - like, one octave minor, the next one major, then a fifth, then a seventh and leave the rest for solo playing on top. :)

@@gehirndoperyou could always mix string gauges, taking strings from different octaves and combining them into one note. Probably wouldn’t work with coiled bass strings since the circumference is so much different, but it has potential.
Fine line between cacophony and music. But yes it could be an opportunity if you make every 5th key a cord (or whatever is comfortable) you could probably do things that would be otherwise impossible and that's awesome!
I wonder if this idea has been explored before, it really is a missed opportunity to unlock some of the most confusing and interesting music sheets known to man.
i feel like tuning the black keys to Cord Mode™ would be the best use case. that way you don't have to fumble around deciding which keys to tune. and you'll never accidentally hit a full cord when you meant to hit a key. and you still have full original functionality of all your white keys
Could also tune the bass keys like a lute or something where the two (or three in this case) strings are tuned in octaves. I imagine this would translate better over multiple keys than having a major triad chord.
I used to dream about a hypothetical contraption when I was little. A huge group of guitars controlled with a single device. Each guitar tuned to a chord. Of course you could just do that digitally but if you made something like that out of real equipment it would be so crazy
I know next to nothing about music, but I do know a little about programing. What you have there is a macro (Performing multiple things either in sequence or at the same time from a singular input) and it's very powerful. I would encourage you to delve further into the possibilities that this grants.
Do this to the whole piano, and then play the most complicated song you could have played on a standard piano, and then compare with an even harder song thats onoy possible on the new piano.
this seriously could be really cool for me as a handicap person. I use my pinky to play the bass note of the cord and I’m playing with my thumb pointer and second finger. If I could have a section of base notes that when my pinky hit it, I’m actually hitting a bigger cord that would be so cool.
First idea that comes to mind is slightly detuning the strings and do some honky tonk shenenigans. Second one is to swap the strings for octaves of the original key - this could either work like c1 c2 c3 OR moving the strings by an octave so the piano then works something like an accordion bass - only one octave of notes, wonder how that would sound.

Very true but real instruments have a certain sound that vst’s and electric pianos just can’t compare to
