This is a video of talented pianist Vinheteiro (previously) performing a top ten medley of Scott Joplin ragtime tunes on a 1915 Barthol & Berlin upright piano. You can close your eyes and almost convince yourself you’re in an old wild west saloon drinking hot whisky and in desperate need
This is a video of Brazilian pianist, accordionist, sound engineer, musician, aquarist (aquarium keeper), YouTuber, and starer (you got a problem with me?!)

This is a video of ex-NASA engineer Mark Rober building and experimenting with Chopstix, a googly eyed, midi-controlled transparent player piano he built that can not only play some of the hardest songs out there like Rush E (previously), but also talk via pressing its keys to form the necessary
This is a video of musician Lorenzo Vaccaro playing “the supposedly impossible MIDI track Rush E” at a very respectable 152BPM. For reference, that’s about my heart rate on my walk down the driveway to get the mail. My doctor says I’m going to die. My bookie says the same
