Double Keyboard Piano with Chris Taylor

- Renowned pianist Christopher Taylor demonstrates the unique features of a special instrument that combines the harpsichord's ability to double its keyboard with the sound of a modern Steinway piano.
I had two dreams involving a piano like this, one where I found a red one and I had to hide it and sneak it away, the other was last night, in the dream I played it onboard an ancient cruise ship inside a small room, I jammed on it awhile until Joni Mitchell's "River" manifested and suddenly there were people surrounding me singing along. It was one of the most serene and beautiful dreams I've ever had, and now I'm happy to know that such a piano exists outside my subconscious.
cool
I've played this piano (not very well)! In Gunnar's home while his wife Lorraine was still living there. It has had a lot of restoration work since then. I'm so glad it's at UW-Madison where a musician of Taylor's genius can use it.
It would be cool if there was a version w/ 108 Notes along w/ a Pedal Piano version & a Coupler Pedal that locks in place.
I am surprised there are almost nothing else about this wonderful instrument on UA-cam !!
Wouldn't the Janko layout also solve these issues? ( Non player asking)
@@darthanddedeu2580 The problem with the Janko piano is that in the process of fixing one problem of piano tecnique you need to learn a completely new tecnique. Most pianist would not do that just to "fix" one problem.
Here says you posted this video 10 years ago. I just imagine you must have prepared a great repertoire since I can see how you enjoy such of incredible instrument.
Too bad there are no pianos like that on market and it seems since it was invented possibly few of them are hidden somewhere.
It is kind of a new piano era, it may require a specific technic of fingering I guess, but, after being in front of such of a wonderful keyboard... one immediately begin to dream and improvise a lot!!
I'm really impressed.
interesting octave coupleabilities, very pipe organic. 🎹👍
it's about time that we had a double manual piano
Why should it be easier? Parallel octave sixteenth notes are meant to be staccato.
that because the goldberg variation are writen for harpsichord ,doble manual harpsichord .not for piano
Fascinating piano and great pianist.
Just add a pedalboard and expand piano to organ practice
Tetsuo315 top manual harpsichord, lower manual piano and an organ pedalboard... what else could you want?
@@drewway9599 Swell box?
Borgato piano
Para tocar esa 5ta variación Goldberg también es necesario ponerse a cantarla asi como hacía Gould? jajaja
Fantastic!
So, the upper keyboard plays notes octave higher than the lower keyboard. I think the upper keyboard has 76 keys while the lower keyboard has 88
Amazing!
Why is there only one of these?
I guess you can request the factory with extra payment;-;
This man loves the goldberg variations as it seems
If you were improvising and your right hand went to play in the area where the left hand was playing on the other, would the notes sound on the ones the left hand were playing?

actually, it has only one set of strings, one set of hammers, but two whippen actions.
i saw Mr. Taylor perform Goldberg Variations on it in 2008.
I don't see why this didn't become the predominant style of piano. Surely it's a bit more expensive to make but not THAT much more. Especially when you consider pianos aren't even built with virtually any care for expense to begin with, what's an extra keyboard action going to add to the cost? No more than another $1,000 I can't imagine, for things that people regularly buy new steinways for anywhere from $40,000 to $150,000, to upwards of $500,000 for the absolute biggest concert grands.
The extra set of wippens alone cost $1,200 before installation and regulation.
I thought the turn of the century 18-1900 experimental doubles were for quarter tone playing.
rube goldberg variation
Really? I had to untangle my fingers after learning and playing that goldberg variation on a single keyboard hahaha
3:58
peut-on avoir une traduction?
I bet Robert Wadlow could have reached a double octave, his height was 8’ 11” of course
What’s the song at 3:30?
it's Liszt's etude 3 "Paysage"
He keeps going hmmmmmmm
And and
@UCeJesXuEK5ERsyh-0DvM4PQ
This instrument could be great for playing Mozart's 12 Variations of Oh would I tell you Mother with just one Hand & that's great for Norman Malone Chicago's Very own.
mmh, interesting.
BE QUIET!🎹
