Oh, and it also speaks English.
Shout out to Sheet Music Boss. Go check out and sub to their channel!- / @sheetmusicboss
Also go check out Grant from 3Blue1Brown. He the best explainer of complicated stuff I know (the buttery smooth delivery certainly doesn’t hurt)- www.3blue1brown.com/
Cool piano animation by Jared Owen- youtube.com/JaredOwen
Finally, the piano in the video is from Edelweiss. Thanks to our friends at pianodisc.com/ for helping to modify one of their Prodigy player systems to make this possible. We had to modify it so it could play Rush E and all the keys at once otherwise out of the box they can play about 30 keys at once. If you want more info, you can find it here- www.edelweissinfo.com/
P.S. No Chopstix were hurt in the filming of this video (i.e. he didn’t ACTUALLY catch fire).
I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs YouTube channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- youtube.com/crunchlabs

Thanks to Sheet Music Boss and Grant and Chopstix!! Sorry it’s been a hot minute since I’ve uploaded but I promise I’ve been working harder than ever planting and cultivating some seeds that should bear some very delicious fruit for all of you over the next 5 months or so.

It was great to collaborate with you, Mark! Thank you for the invitation!
-
What an unexpected crossover! Rush E is the perfect final boss for chopsticks.
-
We were expecting flames. You click-bated me Mark Rober!
-
5:50 great idea how to rickroll😂
-
10/10 It "speaking" and "singing" is absolutely haunting.
-
Fun fact: the Green Needle Brainstorm toy is actually a Ben 10 Alien Force toy of the alien Brainstorm from about 12 years ago, so we know for sure Brainstorm is what it's actually saying!

"MY LAWYERS ARE GOING TO SUE YOUR A-" had me dying lol😂 Edit- YOO NEVER HAD THIS MANY LIKES BEFORE THANK YOU
-
Never realized how complicated the structure of a piano key is.
-
That is insane, i've always wanted to see rush E played irl and to see it done by a robot is just the cherry on top.
-
08:45 — It's weird. I can either hear: – the first word twice; – the second word twice; or – first word once, and second word once. However, for the life of me, if I start with the second word, it is impossible for me to hear the first one after it: it's always the second word, again.
-
“MY LAWYERS ARE GOING TO SUE YOUR-“ Chopsticks what were you gonna say..? Were you going to say a-
-
This seems like an extremely complicated way to rickroll everyone. Well done.
-
AINT NO WAY I GOT RICKROLLED BY A ROBOT PIANO MADE 2 YEARS AGO
-
I didnt expect 3blue1brown. Awesome! :D
-
The part about how when it gets chaotic and some sounds are more or less muted is because the piano can't reset its hammers fast enough before the next note is played. That's why Rush E is strictly electronic. If you did play it fast enough, the piano wouldn't be able to keep up.
-
The one and only time I will accept being Rick rolled!
-
Did I really just get Rickrolled by a piano in 2024 :|
-
I can always appreciate when someone does something Rush E related and does the zoom thing when the full row of keys is played lol
