Great video! I noticed the color difference on the bars immediately on video and when you mentioned they even felt different, I had a thought cross my mind: Is it possible that this piano was NOT a factory defect, but instead was taken apart by someone previously? Maybe it was originally a toy for a child and those bars were damaged or lost, so a maybe parent took it apart and fixed it in a really slap-dash way. That might explain how the keys are out of order, the felt pads having no pattern, and the bars possibly being non-original replacements. Somebody may have done the best repair they could, without the proper musical knowledge to know exactly how to make it sound and look right.
@@Dbort Yeah, a botched repair job and incorrect reassembly seems to be the leading theory in the comments, and the two wonky notes with different metal rods give some tangible evidence to support this. I think I agree that it's what happened.
@@aSongScout With that in mind, is it worth attempting to rebuild the piano with the correct key pattern or is it better off as a funny gag toy to show off to other musicians?
@@TheTechnosasquatch definetly a gag toy, it would be funny to see them come up to it and try to play something, and just hear "what in the frick" as they struggle to understand the oddities of the dank piano. (yes, the piano has officially been dubbed the "dank piano" or the "dank meme piano".)
@aSongScout Not to burst your bubble but there is nothing impossible about a piano with two middle C's. It's not much different than having an organ key rack extend side ways instead of being a different rack. The issue is you used a straight forward approach without putting any logic into pattern analysis. Not to mention nobody is going to be performing anything worth noting on something that small anyway. Give me a piano with 5 middle C's and over 120 keys and i'll show you just how silly all this is.
We are all talking about the kid pissed by the piano's existence, but take a minute to appreciate the spontaneous facial expression of his younger sister! It's great hahaha!
I love that piano. Now go find a band full of wonky instruments (and people to play them) and make a "slightly off" symphony. That would be truly amazing!
Right? Even the keys being wrong works in the favor of unsettling background info that you don't notice at first glance but makes it feel off... It's literally perfect.
And so, unknowingly, aSongScout lifted the curse of the little girl's soul that was trapped within the tiny piano, by fixing and creating a song on it.

Here's my theory: the piano was repaired by "someone" in the past who had no idea about pianos. The unusual key config was caused because they did not re-assemble it correctly after the repair. If you take the first C-E and put it on the very left of the keyboard, shifting the remaining keys (F-B) to the right, everything makes sense again. And the two different looking rods also point to a botched repair... those probably bent or broke in the past and they just tried to fit some other rods they had available, not taking into account that different material or thickness might not produce the desired notes.
Very "sharp" eye noticing a way to fix it, but since the white and black felt are mismatched I think it may have come from the factory like that. The rods are the strongest parts of the whole piano so more evidence that it was just horribly assembled at the factory (200 likes)
HPPCHG 543 - i would be too as a 20+ year piano player and someone asked me to play a small, out-of-tune piano with 2 middle C’s. Strangely enough, this has actually happened to me before lol
I loved how well you explained the order of notes and how to easily figure out what a note is anywhere on a piano. I always struggle explaining it to people who ask me
I think my grandpa has one of these pianos! I remember playing on a small piano that sounded terrible and my older brother would spend way to long trying to play some basic songs like Mary had a little lamb, also it sounded EXACTLY like the one in the video lmao
If I may do some wild guessing: piano broke, kid's grandpa tried to fix it while having no clue about pianos. Replaced the two bars with totally different material, just cut them the same length. If you unscrew the side panel all the keys come off of another metal rod. That's what the grandpa did and when it was time to put them back on he couldn't remember what order they were in. When he gave it back the kid was like "what the actual duck Gramps" but he only thought it to himself since Gramps dementia was getting worse every day so he thought instead he should be happy about the time they still have left together and thanked him with a big hug, while a tear was running down his cheek. Any publishers around interested in the full story?
Something like this was my thought as well. The white damper felts are just replacements for worn ones in the original black, grabbed from some stuff lying around the shop, so there's no real pattern. The bars show a roughly chromatic progression, so rearranging the keys and tuning the two replacement bars by altering their lengths would probably make this a vaguely playable thing. I doubt it will ever sound *good*, but you could play a tune on it. I guess once Gramps passed, the kid reevaluated his priceless memory and settled on $15. Publisher is probably going to want a happier ending.
This piano honestly sounds like the notes are shepherd tones (a sound that sounds like it's going up continuously forever) Edit: Google this if you have no idea what shepherd tones are - It's quite difficult to explain.
Growing up I had a BIG piano at my grandmas house. One summer I had to stay there for a whole month, while my sisters would go back two weeks earlier, and when it was just me and my grandma, she asked me to help clear out this storage unit. There we found said piano, and I decided that I would try and learn the basics while I there. I learned how to play this little medley that sounded like something out of a Zelda game, but when I tried to play it on a school piano once fall came around, it sounded real funky. When I came back for Christmas, I realized the piano had two middle c’s, just like this one! I don’t really know if this was just because it was really old and according to my gma, it was made by this man she knew in Germany. Very weird
I was kinda annoyed, I honestly would be confused but not getting mad, maybe the person that created it wanted to do something different, unusual, I don’t know.
Little toy pianos like these CAN be useful in the studio. I've used similar ones to either mimic, or double glockenspiel parts... That could be something to experiment with? Don't hesitate to throw some effects on it as well. The right tweaked phaser, chorus, or reverb could maybe help it sound decent on its own?
As much as this piano is hot garbage, I kinda want one. Or at least a VST version. Something about the weird tuning and the two warped keys is really appealing
Ngl this happened to me. The piano was off key and the repairman couldn't fix it. Still, parents never got an electric one or anything and I STILL went to piano class 😂
@Roy is Our Boy? Definition of 'percussion instrument' is as follows: a musical instrument in which the sound is produced by one object striking another The piano does count. The hammers strike the strings, therefore it's a percussion instrument.
ObviouslyCharlie He’s a kid What do you expect him to wear a tuxedo and say in an accent *this piano is too bad to be in my line of sight take it away*
I just rewatched Jacksfilms' 8 year-old video where 'David from Ohio' transcribed all of his songs he had posted at the time, and I didn't expect the thank you link to come to a channel I've already watched something from. Good work, David
My theory is that the worker in the factory was supposed to get the felt tips on each key with the correct color but realized nobody ever saw them and that he could go faster if he just grabbed whatever sticker was easiest. No deep meaning to the pattern. No hidden code.
Judging by the metal bars (as opposed to wires on a piano), it seems more like a toy/mini celeste. It definitely sounds more like a celeste than a piano haha
That's not a manufacturing defect! This toy piano is set to play one octave of A minor scale with your left hand and its chords, and an octave and a half for your right hand. I think they tried to shrink the keyboard and in the same time keep it playable!
I don’t think this is right, I mean why would the felt bits underneath be wrong? Also doesn’t explain why some white notes would be playing sharps and flats
I had a dream recently with this exact piano, I was forced to play it in an orchestra I didn't play at. I had never seen the thumbnail before and haven't even watched your channel before. It has the exact same note default, same shape and size only the paint was more rusted. I got super freaked out, it even sounded the same as the one in my dream. I'm not lying I'm very confused.
Maybe this seems obvious to me but this just seems like a case of a crappy repair job. The two wrong plunky notes are replacement rods that were not made of the same material. Likely the person repairing this just found some rod at a hardware store that was the same gauge but had not been tempered to hold a tone. The white felt pads are replacement pads and the black ones are the original. There is no pattern because... well there wasn't supposed to be. It's just felt padding. White was used as a replacement because no one would ever see it. The keys are messed up because whoever repaired it took all the keys out and didn't replace them properly. All these things would be relatively simple to fix. 1. Replace the two non-resonant rods with actual tone rod (or "music wire") cut to size and tuned by adjusting the length either by cutting or position in the wood holder. 2. Remove and replace the keys in the correct configuration. Also would be a good time to clean them and fix the stuck keys. 3. Tune all of the tone rods and ensure they are positioned correctly to return the hammers.
This "creepy piano" is a typical toy piano, with metal rods instead of strings. Technically rods are just stiff strings, so... And this one looks like someone was messing with it before and failed.
In all honesty, it would be safe to assume the person who had owned it previously (or anyone for that sort of matter) had modified the keys and changed the positioning of the various notes without knowing. Upon researching a little bit more on the specific piano, I could find that the keys are assembled correctly on the various photos (unfortunately that wouldn't solve the issue of quality control, but since this product was well advertised in the 1950s we could assume there was SOME sort of quality control.) The person who changed the keys probably had opened up the piano to the same issue as well. The little metal rods which the hammers strike were probably damaged or had been misplaced, which probably prompted the owner to open up the piano to fix the issue, which is to replace the rods, and can easily be seen by the change in material, color, and the messy alignment of the rods in the hole, which contributes to bad sounding notes. It is easy to switch the keys because they all have a set width from each other, unlike a real piano which the internals have specific lengths to accommodate different notes. Since this a toy piano the manufacturer resorted to the cheaper option and made all the keys the same length, from the tip that you press to create sound, to the hammers that strike the rod. In conclusion I would like to reinstate my theory to be as is: a person who wanted to fix the inside of the piano, messed up and hence why there are "two middle Cs" rather than it being misplacement of the keys when reassembling the piano. Maybe that's why the previous owner wanted to get rid of it.
I love "Scotland the Brave," and what a charming-sounding version of it you've played! This is quite possibly the first time a real song has ever been played on that little piano. I bet you made it happy!
Many others have pointed out that the key arrangement on this was either a bad repair job, or a *really* bad assembly oversight, but may I suggest a third possibility? This keyboard may have been designed to have two distinct sides for the left and right hands, and originally was completely missing the F3-B4 keys. Any sheet music produced by the toy company could have accommodated this, but outside repair jobs could easily have been unaware of that intentional design and leveled out the musical rods in an attempt to "fix" it (esp if any of the rods happened to break on the end and were salvaged as much higher notes, forcing the entire range of the piano to be shifted). I'm really curious to learn more about what kind of repairs were done on this.

Arguably it is still a piano, even though the "strings" aren't attached on both ends. It's still percussion!
@@WayneWerner I'd say it perhaps has more in common with a glockenspiel
@Roy is Our Boy? Definition of 'percussion instrument' is as follows:
a musical instrument in which the sound is produced by one object striking another
The piano does count. The hammers strike the strings, therefore it's a percussion instrument.
Piano falls squarely in the definitions of String Instrument, and Percussion instrument. It is the only known Stringed-Percussion instrument to exist.

THE PIANO IS JUST BUILT DIFFERENT🕶🤏🐸
My theory is that the worker in the factory was supposed to get the felt tips on each key with the correct color but realized nobody ever saw them and that he could go faster if he just grabbed whatever sticker was easiest. No deep meaning to the pattern. No hidden code.
But it’s symmetrical, hopefully that’s not a coincidence
@@kjl3080 Maybe he got bored and just started making his own patterns.
Or maybe an intern.

my midi keyboard has 25 keys (i have a -mk-4000- and an *alesis vmini*)
That's not a manufacturing defect!
This toy piano is set to play one octave of A minor scale with your left hand and its chords, and an octave and a half for your right hand.
I think they tried to shrink the keyboard and in the same time keep it playable!
My first keyboard was an organ, the split in the keyboard looked obvious for playing chords
Oooooooooooo idk much abt pianos but this makes some sense so this guy should see this comment
That's true. But A minor is a really weird base key for any pianist im not sure that was even on purpose.
I don’t think this is right, I mean why would the felt bits underneath be wrong? Also doesn’t explain why some white notes would be playing sharps and flats
@@RinkuStars They were changed because surely some did not work.

I had a dream recently with this exact piano, I was forced to play it in an orchestra I didn't play at. I had never seen the thumbnail before and haven't even watched your channel before. It has the exact same note default, same shape and size only the paint was more rusted. I got super freaked out, it even sounded the same as the one in my dream. I'm not lying I'm very confused.
Deja vù
I’ve had very similar dreams (playing in public on some busted instrument or forgetting all the notes)
I’ve had a similar dream, but I had to play a piece I *forgot* how to play on a normal piano so I just guessed how it went.

Maybe this seems obvious to me but this just seems like a case of a crappy repair job.
The two wrong plunky notes are replacement rods that were not made of the same material. Likely the person repairing this just found some rod at a hardware store that was the same gauge but had not been tempered to hold a tone.
The white felt pads are replacement pads and the black ones are the original. There is no pattern because... well there wasn't supposed to be. It's just felt padding. White was used as a replacement because no one would ever see it.
The keys are messed up because whoever repaired it took all the keys out and didn't replace them properly.
All these things would be relatively simple to fix.
1. Replace the two non-resonant rods with actual tone rod (or "music wire") cut to size and tuned by adjusting the length either by cutting or position in the wood holder.
2. Remove and replace the keys in the correct configuration. Also would be a good time to clean them and fix the stuck keys.
3. Tune all of the tone rods and ensure they are positioned correctly to return the hammers.
THIS is the exact comment I looked for because I was too lazy to type it myself.
Thanks for saving the collective's time friendo.
For the felt, I was thinking that they was using what ever material that they had on hand.
english pls
I would enjoy a video about the repair process as well.
Anything for veiws they say.

This "creepy piano" is a typical toy piano, with metal rods instead of strings. Technically rods are just stiff strings, so... And this one looks like someone was messing with it before and failed.

Also, there are no silencers on the unused chime things, so lower notes are going to resonate when you play notes an octave up.
In all honesty, it would be safe to assume the person who had owned it previously (or anyone for that sort of matter) had modified the keys and changed the positioning of the various notes without knowing. Upon researching a little bit more on the specific piano, I could find that the keys are assembled correctly on the various photos (unfortunately that wouldn't solve the issue of quality control, but since this product was well advertised in the 1950s we could assume there was SOME sort of quality control.)
The person who changed the keys probably had opened up the piano to the same issue as well. The little metal rods which the hammers strike were probably damaged or had been misplaced, which probably prompted the owner to open up the piano to fix the issue, which is to replace the rods, and can easily be seen by the change in material, color, and the messy alignment of the rods in the hole, which contributes to bad sounding notes.
It is easy to switch the keys because they all have a set width from each other, unlike a real piano which the internals have specific lengths to accommodate different notes. Since this a toy piano the manufacturer resorted to the cheaper option and made all the keys the same length, from the tip that you press to create sound, to the hammers that strike the rod.
In conclusion I would like to reinstate my theory to be as is: a person who wanted to fix the inside of the piano, messed up and hence why there are "two middle Cs" rather than it being misplacement of the keys when reassembling the piano. Maybe that's why the previous owner wanted to get rid of it.
Long story short, whoever replaced the rods also put the keys back in wrong.
I love "Scotland the Brave," and what a charming-sounding version of it you've played! This is quite possibly the first time a real song has ever been played on that little piano. I bet you made it happy!
It's like it won the gold medal at the Special Olympics.

This piano was built by someone who saw a piano once and vaguely remembers what it looked like.
Yeah lol
Yep
A.I. generated piano
my guess is that this piano was made by a guy on his last day and he decided to messed up every step that he could while building it.
I was thinking the same thing. Or the manufacturer was on acid.
Legend has it that the blond kid to this day looses sleep thinking about what hes going to do to the piano next time he sees it
One of the best comments thus far
"Why is there a sticker of... Evil on it and I can write my name with all this dust" lol is what I heard and it was hilarious
Many others have pointed out that the key arrangement on this was either a bad repair job, or a *really* bad assembly oversight, but may I suggest a third possibility?
This keyboard may have been designed to have two distinct sides for the left and right hands, and originally was completely missing the F3-B4 keys. Any sheet music produced by the toy company could have accommodated this, but outside repair jobs could easily have been unaware of that intentional design and leveled out the musical rods in an attempt to "fix" it (esp if any of the rods happened to break on the end and were salvaged as much higher notes, forcing the entire range of the piano to be shifted). I'm really curious to learn more about what kind of repairs were done on this.
