    Ahh, Mattias single-handedly driving up the global price of tuning forks. Good lesson in supply and demand. 😂
  • @fuyukaidesu1641
    How it started: "I'm going to build a piano that can never go out of tune!" How it ended: "I built a piano that can't ever be in tune again!"
  • @jawolod
    “I tried built a piano that can never go out of tune!” Electric pianos: am I a joke to you?
  • My favorite line, “ I’ve made a piano that can never be tuned, I am an engineer” ……… Hysterical!
  • @drigondii
    At some point Mattias will just start building musical instruments from scratch and realize he’s a piano manufacturer
  • Mattias: spends over $2000 USD dollars on a tuning fork piano Also Mattias: can't afford a tuning app without ads
  • @kooldudematt1
    Mattias Krantz: "It's called a dulcitone. I still can't believe that thing actually already exists…." Also Mattias Krantz: literally creates a variant dulcimer
  • @rozek19
    You should open an art gallery, ie. a museum of the modified pianos, which are unique art in itself😎 Good job!😃
  • @HBStone
    Mattias: I will make a piano that can NEVER go out of tune! Also Mattias: makes a piano that will always gradually detune... forever
  • @roxrequiem2935
    "It's kinda like the Piano is screaming in pain." Yeah, just like the entire process of making it.
  • @vernonsmith6211
    when you got to the part where you messed up the dampers, I relived every failed project I've ever given up on. Seeing you push through and fix each problem is inspiring, truly,
  • @famesan
    im not into pianos or music... but the absurd level of willpower placed into this project deserves a subscription
  • @moredots
    I want to see a whole video series of Matthias independently inventing things which have already existed for hundreds of years.
  • @hipposapien5434
    I like how he has a piano "dealer" like he's involved in some sort of piano crime ring
  • @fristi61
    I was wondering how a Dulcitone is made so that the tuning forks don't wear down and go out of tune there... Apparently the hammers are covered with felt. Maybe you need felt strings ;)
  • Okay I'm not done with the video yet but I'm at 23:15 and following you through this hellish process and seeing how many times something went wrong but instead of just give up on the project or break it even (which is where I probably would have been tbh). Seeing you take care of the pieces even when you had to take them all back off again which was probably one of the hardest things I've watched but it was so impressive, seriously. You've got grit, dedication, and a mental strength that is pretty remarkable. So, thank you for sticking with the project and posting about it because this made my night and gave me a deeper perspective on some things in life. Thanks man, cheers!
  • @Albeit_Jordan
    "What's wrong with Mattias?" "I don't know, he's just been in that rocking chair cradling a tuning fork and mumbling to himself for days now"
  • “He asked me if I wanted to jump into the van because he had a surprise waiting for me inside”
  • 25:25 the song is River Flows In You by Yiruma. Took me a while to find (Shazam struggled with the tuning forks lol) but hopefully anyone looking sees this
  • @nicolej2972
    It's so nice to see despite all the difficulties and things so often not going as initially planned, you manage to pull yourself back up. Not easy 💪👍 Subscribed
