Awesome interview. This man is a genius...pure and simple. From woods, to metals, to physics associated with the construction and ultimately, the sound of such an awesome instrument, I could listen to him for hours. Just incredible.
Having played an Imperial grand a few years ago, this piano looks fascinating. And certainly an interesting conversation regarding managing the energy of a string from a design perspective.... Cool video.
A very impressive piano, it actually sounds like my Boesendorfer Imperial, which kinda makes sense. David mentioned the Faziolli F308 at 302cm, but there's actually an even longer piano built in New Zealand by a "kid" that towers them all, his piano is at 570cm or 18.7 feet! It took him 2 years to build it, from 2007 to 2009. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/G50H9rHWBEE/v-deo.html
Slightly disagree. I think interviewer glossed over things the builder was trying to say, making for moments when it was all too airy. E.g., the builder should have been led to explain the unique opportunity for a new SCALING pattern (wire gauge distribution) that comes from the length of the frame. This is what he referred to frequently as "tension".
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Very nice and very good video ❤❤❤❤❤Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your videos so much. You have helped me more than you know with the quagmire I'm currently in. Thank you!
That was a very good interview. A 12 foot grand. This is piano geek territory!
That is an insane instrument!!
We would need the whole Larson factory to even attempt to move that thing. Goodness.
It might fall through the floor !
This is insane! 🔥🔥🔥
Such a fabulous thing.

Thanks so much for playing the bottom note.
Unnecessary, ridiculous, superfluous. But even through a crappy cameraphone, this sounds amazing.
Those low notes just the vibration is akin to a 32 foot reed on an organ. Wow!
David Rubinstein is a brilliant artist and a wonderful inspiration to many people fascinated with piano building and sound!!! Thank you! 🙏

Indeed, it's interesting to hear someone knowing his stuff.
Fantastic Video ... Thanks
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this.
You know it's a good instrument when you have to ask "wait, how low does human hearing go?" lol
7:44 to 8:04. Holy … that is something.

The bass is NOT overstrung?!
There should be more playing and less talking - didn't care for all the talking - ergo, thumbs DOWN

This was an interview, not a demonstration.
