      He's not the only one that does this stuff..percussion on and with many surfaces, bowing strings, looping, harmonic stopping, hand muting, etc (this and others of his vids), don't think he was even the first to do any of it, not sure, but he does do it REALLY well, and this an Pirates are two favorites of mine from him. If you haven't seen that one take a look. And if you want to see a well played odyssey from pirates called Pirates Forever, check out Jerrod Radnich's version...it is nuts, and quite beautiful at times!

      I'm scared to break strings and the mechanism inside pianos are nuts ! It's so fucking mechanical, all those little levers, arms, and rockers. I have a 90s kawaii upright with weird creaking on several keys just above middle C and I believe it's some of those mechanisms beginning to wear. You guys think a tuner will look at this stuff for me ?

      Sure the piano is expensive, but it's expensive so that it can be played this way. (Well it's expensive becuase it's an Imperial BUT, not just that). A good piano is desgined to take abuse and keep giving and giving and giving and people don't seem to understand that.

      Yes. I too had the work-out thought. Certainly he is getting exercise, isn't he? It happens that my wife, who's a dietician, says that playing the piano "vigorously" burns about 100 calories per hour... but I am pretty sure Peter Bence is using more than that... (?)

      However.
      It was designed with a simple purpose in mind: to make music. This is what that precision, that dedication, and that mastery were geared towards: the performance of music. Thus, if crafting the best performance requires harming or even destroying the piano... well, burn the f#@%er down.
