    THE STORY:
    Yes. That is the Great Wall of China. No. It's not green screen.
    Since ThePianoGuys began, it has been our impossible dream to put a grand piano on the Great Wall. People laughed at us when we said we were determined to do it. It is done. All of us at ThePianoGuys would like to //dediCate\\ this music video to the visionary behind it all and the man whose dream this has always been: Paul Anderson.
    It is difficult to detail each of the many miracles that were stitched together in time turning this dream into actuality. Master Oogway, himself, said, "A destiny is not realized until we let go of the illusion of control." To say we made this happen.... Read the rest of the story here: smarturl.it/KungFuPiano

    I love that China’s Ice Dance team, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu used this song for their Free Dance routine this year and performed it at the Olympics. The moment I heard the piano’s opening measures while watching the team competition event I freaked out and said, “Holy cow! This is the Piano Guys’ arrangement!”
    Now after watching them for the second time tonight during the Ice Dance medal competition (and knowing what was coming) I could truly appreciate both the song and the routine that they built around it. Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu truly did it justice and I hope the Piano Guys are proud of making this arrangement so beautiful for cello and piano and that they did it so well that someone used it for competition at the Olympics!

      +Natsu La Smileuse You are thinking about Steve's steel cello. It broke during the Lord of the Rings shoot and the sounds that it now made were used to create sounds heard in Dont you Worry Child. They called it the Sitello - a cross between the Sitar and the Cello :)

      @calebkierum6871 8 років тому +4

      +Xiang (Fortehlolz) He has a 5 stringed electric cello, and being an electric cello their must be some way to filter it into an erhu sound. The electric cello actually looks nothing like an erhu, not to mention that erhus play completely differently then cellos do, AND only have 2 strings. Heck when you translate the suffix of the word "hu" it turns out that it can be translated to be "two" as in two strings.
      I would love to know what software he did use to change an electric cello into an erhu thing.
