This is kinda fun...

Good music, creative camera, hot girl, touch of fun. What could be better?

Especially like the humor of the chair.

Pianoguys Mission Impossible

BTW, these guys have a ton of good videos.

I always thought the body of the box resonated to produce the sound. Duplicated with electronics?

Huh.

In reply to 914Driver:

The sound starts with the vibrating strings. I'm guessing those things use piezoelectric pickups like a lot of acoustics do for amplification, unlike "normal" electric guitars' pickups, which actually turn the strings movement through a magnetic field directly into voltage. But fundamentally, I know doodly about electric violins/cellos/etc.

This actually reminds me of something I was thinking of the other day: There's no additional energy input on an acoustic instrument, but without the body, it would be much quieter. Since no energy is input, the vibration isn't actually being amplified (increased in amplitude/scale), but is being more efficiently turned into air pressure fluctuations, right? What would you call that?

Resonance!

Electric guitars have always had solid bodies.

Except for acoustic electrics.

And the hollow bodies. And the semi-hollow bodies.

Fantastic!! I have to ask, though..when did yootoob stop letting us turn off annotations?

I know the season is over, but I really like this one too:

Pianoguys- Angels we have heard on high

The musicianship of 4 guys who can so radically re-interpret something like "playing a piano" is incredibly impressive. They bow it, pluck it, hammer it, strum it, pound it, sing with it, and who knows what else, all while rotating around it. And still have fun!

Stephen Sharp Nelson is a brilliant musician.

Jon Schmidt isn't a slouch at making a piano talk either.

I have a couple of their albums on my phone.

The story about how they got started in this is an interesting read as well. Just a group of guys with the right talents, brought together by chance.

Very cool takes. I love people that think outside the box when it comes to music.
