At least he used tape so the mod is completely reversible.

How does he get the piano notes moving ? (I mean are the ghost's job and wages properly declared ! )

 

[chazmo]

Hahahahaha! Love it!

 

[GAD]

If you've never seen him before he's got some great piano vids.

OMG! Too funny!!!!

If this weren't so amazingly good, I'd compare it to the seen when Nigel Tufnel uses a violin bow on his guitar for the solo in "Spinal Tap."

Clearly no one here has paid much attention to the hurdy gurdy.

Every time he slapped the cover I was waiting for it to slam on his thumb.

I'm not gonna' say that I actually liked that or anything, but I'll give props for coolness and percussion capabilities!!

 

[fronobulax]

I chose that video because the instrument was always on camera. If you search there are a fair number of hurdy gurdy videos out there but I chose to post one where the focus was the instrument and not the player.

I should note that slap bass originated because Larry Graham was trying to emulate the sound of a drum set because the band did not have a drummer. So there is precedent for players using their instrument as percussion.

Frono, remember that guy that had all the homemade African instruments, and how he said they were percussive, rather than melodic instruments?

He actually used a violin, not the bow. The kicker was his pausing to tune the violin while doing so.

Well Jimmy Page had already done the bow so using the violin would be taking it to the next level.

^Yeah, it's been so long, MT... That's right; I'd forgotten!

I think I'll have to queue that one up soon for a re-watch!
