nadroj Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I saw that floating around Facebook but never cared to watch it. Watched it just now and glad I did. The old man with the harmonica was my favourite. Thanks for that! Hammond SKX Mainstage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, that would be a fun gig. I liked the guy at 1:00 as well, but I really dug the ones where the piano accompanied people.

mate stubb Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The guy has a really good ear, or perfect pitch. He comes in in the correct key every time, even with the harp player who is not visibly playing the keyboard. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr88s Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 While it brought a big smile to my face on an otherwise busy workday, I have to wonder how it is that no one reacted in the least bit strangely to the piano magically accompanying them...

Bif_ Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 While it brought a big smile to my face on an otherwise busy workday, I have to wonder how it is that no one reacted in the least bit strangely to the piano magically accompanying them... The reason no one reacted to the 'magic piano playing' was because all the people in the video responded to a casting call by an ad agency. Saw this on TV a couple nights ago. They had the name of the ad agency and had proof of the casting call, but no admission by the agency that it was staged.

Threadslayer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The guy has a really good ear, or perfect pitch. He comes in in the correct key every time, even with the harp player who is not visibly playing the keyboard. One way that could have been done (I know it wasn't - thanks Grinch) is if the player had a local amp or headphones to find the key and engaged the MIDI or whatever communication to the actual piano once he had it sorted.

Mike Martin Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 They guy playing the piano is Andrew Blendermann. http://www.blenderful.com/ Interesting I first saw this video on Facebook as a mutual friend was complimenting him on his playing. After seeing this thread today I clicked on his name to see that we have many mutual friends, not just one. Most of the mutual friends are all from the dueling piano circuit. Seems to be a very talented guy. -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

JeffLearman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 You don't need perfect pitch. If I've been playing and someone plays something in another key, I generally know right away without thinking what key it's in, but I don't have anything near perfect pitch. Plus, with a harp, chances are pretty good it's a C harp. Lots of ways to dive in without knowing for sure which, and then just making what you just played work. Regardless, I really liked his interpretation and the way he interacted, obvious talent and a great sense of humor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
