@cjm9822 You're actually both half right. Yes it's a real piano, yes it's amped. However, it also has a pickup and uses an mks-20 MIDI module... that's how he gets a few different sounds, and why they all sound rather "bright". Hope it helps :)
speaking as one who's tried, i can say that this song just does not work solo on piano....the fact that he made it work highlights why he's had so much success...absolutely an amazing performance
@anthonystuart69 - He makes it look so easy. And harmonically, the song is really quite simple. But nailing that groove and making it rock the way he does without a rhythm section is SO much more difficult than it seems.
verdammt....der Song ist ja wohl geil....aber was ich mich immer frage....wie kann der Typ noch singen obwohl er fast das Mikro verschluckt! Schonmal jemand probiert das Ding so nah vor den Mund zu halten!?
Auf jedenfall ist es Nass danach....er wird wohl ne Menge verschleiß wegen Rostigen Sieben haben! :-)
das was elton john benutzt ist ein sogenanntes nieren mikro, das braucht druck, um einen guten klang erzeugen deswegen geht er so nah dran, das was moderatoren haben ist ein schallfänger mikrofon, das hat einen guten filter und ist somit auch auf kleinere schallwellen ausgerichtet, die aus dem umkreis von 40 cm kommen
Check out 2:51 to 3:06. If he didn't sell his soul to the devil, I'll kiss your butt.

@jaggass this is a real piano, it has amps in it. but it's definitely cord based.

@themillenia I agree. It looks like they were there by obligation. Bloody idiots. How could them waste such a chance of being so close to Elton??

I think they hardened the hammers that's why the piano's sound is bright. Anyways, excellent performance!

das muss so sein, weil sonst das mikro keinen druck erhält und die stimme klingt schwach
